A Mom's Practical Guide to Baby-Led Weaning

Although I didn't start the baby-led weaning process from the get-go, this book was very helpful to me and couldn't have come at a better time. My son began refusing a spoon around 8 months old and I was at a loss as to what to feed him, how small to cut it up, etc. so I just began trying my own thing. I ordered this book to give me some insight into the BLW process. It was a very fast read and full of great information that is indeed "practical". If I had gotten this book sooner I would have completely started out feeding him through baby-led weaning instead of baby food/purees/cereal. It all made sense!!! I love that the book is written by a real mom who you can totally relate to. It also includes a few recipes that my son loved!! I have highlighted key points for my husband and in-laws which clarifies lots of questions that they have asked such as "is baby getting enough nutrition, will he choke,", etc. and will share it with them. It does an excellent job of answering all of those questions in a practical way that makes sense. I would recommend this book to any mom who wants to understand baby-led weaning and how to go about it. It is a short read which is great because let's face it mom's (and dad's) don't have tons of time to sit and read a long drawn out book.

This was such a quick, but informative read! As the title states, it is a very practical guide that any mom (or dad!) can follow. Any and all questions I had regarding baby led weaning were answered with this book and I now feel confident to try BLW with my son. I would recommend this book to anyone considering BLW!

What an awesome read! My son is 6 months next week and I've been wanting to try baby-led weaning but hadn't had time to do the research. Brittany's book is an easy read and gives great practical advice about how/when to start! We can't wait to get started next week!

I liked the writing and it was easy to understand, but I wish it had a lot more recipes or food ideas for baby led weaning. I was looking for more action, less talk about the method and why it's good for your kid.

Our twins LOVE self-feeding

Ok

Most of the book is a summary of Baby Led Weaning book. I wish the whole book had been like the chapter on First Food.

Without a ton of time to actually read books these days, this book gave me the basic essentials to start experimenting with baby led weaning. It's concise nature was much appreciated.
