Description
Yes, your baby can join in at family mealtimes—right from the start!
Gill Rapley and Tracey Murkett are the creators of baby-led weaning (BLW), a commonsense way to introduce your baby to solid foods. There’s no need to struggle with purées and spoon-feeding! Instead, Baby can explore the same foods you enjoy—how they feel, smell, and taste; how to grasp them and chew them—all at his or her own pace.
The Baby-Led Weaning Family Cookbook includes 99 all-new recipes, many suited for families of 4 or more. Plus, Rapley and Murkett review all the benefits of BLW:
- It’s convenient: The whole family eats the same meal—together. No one puts Baby in the corner!
- It helps Baby learn: BLW builds motor skills, coordination, and confidence.
- It promotes lifelong health: By teaching Baby to love a variety of foods and to gauge fullness, BLW helps prevent picky eating, and overeating, later on!

Murkett and Rapley have created a brilliant resource for parents and caregivers. In Baby-Led Weaning Family Cookbook the authors have simplified an often overwhelming task for those in charge of meal planning for little ones. These recipes are sophisticated yet simple enough for a young palette. The versatility of these recipes are sure to ease the load of any cook since these dishes are appetizing to adults and children alike.
I speak from personal experience when I say that you can now say goodbye to countless hours in the kitchen making separate meals, Baby-Led Weaning Family Cookbook will save time and money- giving you more time to enjoy your littles while they are still little

I wish I had this book when Sam was a baby! I did a modified version of BLW but mostly did purées. This book would be helped me try BLW even more. I can use the recipes now though even though my son is now a toddler. We will both enjoy eating these yummy meals.

This book has paved a way for me to confidently feed my nine month old real food without having to make "baby food". I have an older child and for her I had many fears and a lot of questions on how to start solids. This book is very simplistic in its style, but it is not a negative. It actually was perfect for a mom who may be pressed for time and needs to do a quick speed read. I was able to sit down and read this book within an hour and come back to it from time to time when I needed to.
Why do I recommend this book?
It offers bullet points and bright boxes that highlights important information and tidbits of advice. The book is eye catching in its illustrations and offers the right amount of knowledge and information. I quickly get glossy eyed with a book that has way too much information that I can handle. Rather this is a quick, short and sweet reference book when it comes to baby led weaning.
Lastly, I enjoyed utilizing this book with my child. It gave me a confidence to "DO". Happily my now 10 month old eats at the table with us. The best thing is that I did not have to put any extra effort into making "baby food".
