The definitive stress-free guide to baby-led weaning from the experts trusted by millions of parents around the world.

Led by certified paediatric feeding professionals, Solid Starts have debunked the myth that ultra-processed 'baby food' is necessary and transformed the way that millions of parents around the world feed their babies. Now, with their debut book, you can follow their research-backed advice to wean your baby on the food that you eat - with some simple safety modifications.

In this book you will learn:

  • How to cultivate curiosity and build trust at the table
  • How allowing baby to grab, hold and eat food on their own can decrease the risk of choking
  • The nutritional, developmental, and psychological benefits to sharing the same foods that you like to eat with baby
  • Techniques and guidance for each development window, from 4 months to early toddlerhood
  • The latest evidence on choking, safety, food allergens, nutrition, and how recommendations are rapidly changing

Whether you're new to weaning or you want to try a different approach, Solid Starts for Babies is guaranteed to give you the confidence to share your meals and foster healthy eating habits that will set your baby up for a lifetime of mealtime joy.
