Gill Rapley, a public health nurse for 20 years and the mother of three, originated the theory of baby-led weaning while pursuing her master’s degree. Tracey Murkett, a freelance writer and journalist, followed baby-led weaning with her daughter.
The Natural, No-Fuss, No-Purée Method for Starting Your Baby on Solid Foods
Baby-Led Weaning explodes the myth that babies need to be spoon-fed and shows why self-feeding from the start of the weaning process is the healthiest way for your child to develop. With baby-led weaning (BLW, for short), you can skip purées and make the transition to solid food by following your baby’s cues.
At about six months, most babies are ready to join the family at the kitchen table and discover food for themselves. Baby-Led Weaning is the definitive guide to this crucial period in your child’s development, and shows you how to help your baby:
- Participate in family meals right from the start
- Experiment with food at his or her own pace
- Develop new abilities, including hand-eye coordination and chewing
- Learn to love a variety of foods and to enjoy mealtimes
Baby-led weaning became a parenting phenomenon in the UK practically overnight, inspiring a fast-growing and now international online community of parents who practice baby-led weaning—with blogs and pictures to prove it! In Baby-Led Weaning, world-leading BLW authority Gill Rapley and early BLW practitioner and coauthor Tracey Murkett deliver everything you need to know about raising healthy, confident eaters.
Great simple concept that does not require a book, internet research is all you need While I do like the baby led weaning and will be doing my own version of it I felt buying this book about it was a waste of time and money. It is very clear the author wanted to make a book to make $ because there is so much fluff and unrelated information in the book. A whole book on baby-led weaning is just not necessary as the concept is very simple- let your baby feed themselves at their own pace. The main points could have been summed up in a pamphlet so a book was just overkill. Save your money- do a little internet research and you will find everything you need to know about baby-led weaning.A lifesaver for those overwhelmed with today's "food rules" for babies I'm a huge proponent of this method of introducing foods. I was completely overwhelmed with the modern day "techniques" of introducing cereals, then purees, but only 1 color at a time and for at least 3 or 4 days to see if the child has a reaction, etc. My husband and I were out of the house 12-13 hours a day, I was breastfeeding and pumping full time, the LAST thing I needed to make my life more complicated were food rules that I honestly found to be counterintuitive. I mean, how did my parents teach me how to eat? Certainly not with so many restrictions and I turned out just fine. A friend mentioned this book and I immediately purchased it and read it cover to cover on my long daily commute. It just made so much sense. Kids can eat what we eat. Duh. Although we did feed our daughter some homemade purees (mostly because they were easily transportable snacks for daycare), I never worried about much else. We gave her what we ate from day 1 and not in a pureed form. I did make sure things were in slightly smaller pieces than recommended in the book (for instance, I wouldn't just throw a whole veggie burger on her high chair tray, I'd break it up into pieces easy to pick up), but ultimately, we let our daughter figure food out for herself.By 8 months old, she was using a fork, eating whole foods and would devour anything we'd give her. She couldn't roll over or sit up without assistance (that's a whole other story), but she could use a fork and devour a sandwich. I never had to prepare her different dinners or meals, we never had to spend a ton of money on baby food and we were extremely comfortable with the food she was eating because we were eating the same things. And now at 2.5 years old, she has an incredibly expansive palate. I don't know if it was because we used this method or because our daughter may've just been predisposed to be an amazing eater, but she loves any and all food. I mean, this kid eats salad almost every night. One of her favorite meals is curried lentils with poached eggs.There are few things about parenting that I feel confident about, but this is definitely one of them. If you are at all overwhelmed with all the food rules of today, maybe give this a shot. You might be pleasantly surprised at how easy and how fun feeding your baby can be!Do yourself a favor and skip to the Baby-Led Weaning Cookbook! BLW is a great concept. This book has great ideas, however, is dry and repetitive.Once I got my hands on the BLW Cookbook, I was really upset about the amount of time I wasted reading this book.Do yourself a favor and skip to the Baby-Led Weaning Cookbook.The ENTIRE Baby-Led Weaning book is summarized in the first chapter of the cookbook.
