Forget baby purees and spoon-feeding--there's an easier, more
natural way to introduce your little one to solid foods. By about
six months, when babies can sit up unassisted, grab things, and
munch on them, they are ready to join the family at the kitchen
table and discover real, solid food for themselves.
Baby-led weaning sets the stage for healthy eating habits in the
years ahead by helping babies learn to feed themselves, to gauge
appetite, and to love a variety of nutritious foods. Now, with "The
Baby-Led Weaning Cookbook," cooking family meals that your little
one can share will be a cinch. Gill Rapley and Tracey
Murkett--coauthors of "Baby-Led Weaning," the book that started the
movement--collect 130 recipes perfectly suited for baby-led
weaning, as well as:
- Straightforward advice on which foods to start with- Essential
at-a-glance information on nutrition and food safety- Healthy ideas
for quick snacks, delicious desserts, and meals for the whole
family- Anecdotes and quotes from parents who follow baby-led
weaning- Tips on minimizing the mess, keeping food the right size
for little hands, and more
"The Baby-Led Weaning Cookbook" will give you the recipes and
the confidence to create exciting, enjoyable mealtimes that
encourage little ones to develop at their own pace.
Three best friends. One late-night lifeline.Meet Aisha, Sophy and
Mel. Three new mums. All absolutely shattered. For her social media
fans, influencer Sophy has the picture-perfect life. But why does
she feel so lonely all the time? Older mum Mel wasn't planning on
being a mum later in life. What does this all mean for the career
that she loved? Can she ever go back? And Aisha, whose much loved
twin boys bring her so much joy, but have caused a rift in her own
family that she isn't sure she can ever fix. Navigating this new
world of motherhood is hard. And the only sanity these three
friends have is their 3am mums' club, where they can chat and
support each other in the dark of the night as their babies,
finally, finally sleep. But in the still of the night, secrets are
revealed that could turn all their lives upside down.... more than
they already are! Bestselling author Nina Manning is back with a
brand-new story of mum guilt, parenting pitfalls and friendship
around the clock.
