Excellent - a very helpful guide,
By SJM "americianirishgirl" (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Contented Little Baby Book of Weaning (Paperback)
Weaning...sheesh. Where to start? What type of food to introduce first? When to introduce the next new foods? When do move to finger foods? Table food? AHHH. I really found weaning intimidating with my little one, feeling that if I put a foot wrong, my little one would turn into a fussy eater. So this book was a HUGE help to me. Gina Ford lays out in her no nonsense manner a day to day approach to weaning, what foods to introduce, what time of day to fit in their solids, and how to do all this combined with milk feeds. She has great recipes for each stage, and I feel very much in control of my little ones diet and it is not a battle for her to eat :) perfect - I would highly recommend this book if you are a new mom and need a step by step approach to weaning.

From knowing nothing, to knowing the very best!,

This review is from: The Contented Little Baby Book of Weaning (Paperback)
This book is absolutely out-of-this-world fabulous! I am a first time mother and had no idea about weaning. This book has given me the tools to help my daughter be an exceptionally good eater. It has recipes in it, a day by day guideline for the beginning stages of weaning and fantastic information. It is the only book I've needed for weaning. There was only one small piece of information that was missing from the book; after we started weaning my daughter started crying when eating, and I did some research and learned that in the very, very beginning food should be really runny, like water running off the spoon. She was just learning to get it off the spoon, and if it is too thick, their choking-mechanism kicks in. I have a very healthy daughter, who is exclusively breastfed and this book is designed to help increase your baby's iron levels as they start to diminish after 6 months (if exclusively breastfed). This is an absolute must for any parent who wants their child to eat healthy right from the start. 10/10!UPDATE July 2011: I am using this book for the third time with the weaning process. This book has continued to be one of my main cookbooks in my home with my toddlers and babies. It is completely thrashed with splashes and notes in it, but it is one of my most treasured possessions in my kitchen. It is in metric so some conversion would be needed (easy to google a conversion website though) and she usually includes the faranheit degrees for oven use.

Wonderful, informative book. A classic that was referred by another mother. The only drawback are the recipes which are based on English cuisine.
