Weaning: What to Feed, When to Feed and How to Feed your Baby Hardcover – 16 Aug. 2018

This book is so great. It tells you so much about food and nutrition for babies as well as providing really good, varied and tasty meals to make for them whilst keeping it simple and easy to follow at the same time. I also like how it’s broken down into sections for different ages and food advice etc, so it’s not too much overwhelming info all at once. Highly recommend, I love it and my babies loves the meals

This book is absolutely fantastic. There’s lots of advice about allergies, batch cooking, nutrition, just how to successfully wean. The recipes are great, really simple nothing too complicated. Yes you can get some recipes off the internet, but knowing they are from a renowned expert and knowing that my baby is getting the right balance of protein, carbs and nutrients has made me so much more confident with weaning and it’s so much more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Contains very useful information, in addition to recipies. I like that this is one of few books supporting a combination of spoon feeding and BLW, leaving the choice up to what works for parent and baby. The only regret I have is following the advice in this book to ramp up solids quickly at 6 months. I understand baby needs certain nutrients now, but it went against all other advice I received which was to introduce solids slowly and one food at a time. As a result, my baby had terrible constipation leading to a chafed and bleeding bottom. She was in so much pain when straining. She has since gone off solids completely (not interested, also got ill so probably due to that), and a week of BF only has restored things to normal. I will now, once she is interested to eat again, very slowly start her back on solids. Maybe this is just my baby, but I would advice caution.

Great weaning book from A Karmel. Used it a decade ago and still gifting it for new parents

Great book, lots of great recipes that are easy to make, index goes by ingredient so really easy to find inspiring recipes

Really helpful book with everything you need to know and written in the stages you need step by step

Contents of the book is good and recipes are easy to follow however it arrived with multiple pages folded over.

I really enjoyed this book, which cannot be said of many parenting books I’ve flicked through! it’s easy to read and very non prescriptive/judgmental. The book take the reader through the various methods of weaning and the pros and cons of each. I found the book to be well researched and informed on baby nutritional needs. A lot of the content is stating the obvious but I found that true of most weaning books (i.e of course natural food is better than pouches and no I don’t need a recipe to steam carrots or make purée) but this was also quite reassuring for a first time mum and there were certainly plenty of nuggets of useful information, so in my opinion worth the buy to
