Great for new parents
I loved this book for my first babies and give it at a shower gift often. The quality is nice and the information is very helpful for first time parents
Poorly printed/bound - good information though…
First thing I noticed about this book is the poor quality of the book itself. A lot of the pages in our copy weren’t glued well and I’m sure they’ll fall out before we finish reading the book. And the pages are almost all printed crooked. Other than that, from what I’ve read of the book so far it seems informative. Easy to read and understand. I’m excited for our baby led weaning journey thanks to this book.
Perfect for BLW and beginners !
great science backed information
This is a great book that provides science backed education and is written by a Registered Dietitian. It helps with feeding education and adds important infant development information for safe and healthy Baby Led Feeding!!
Worth it!
I was a clueless first time mom when it comes to baby led weaning and or feeding her. This book simplified things for me and made it a lot easier and made things a little more comfortable for me. I thought it was worth the money! Very easy to read. Very helpful.
Easy to understand!
I love the references for everything. The size charts I found most helpful as well as the layouts of how to go about certain foods as well as allergies.
Interesting Information but confusing vocabulary
4.5 Stars I came across this book on Kindle Unlimited. It focuses on a unique baby-feeding method that I’ve never encountered before. While I found the language a bit confusing, the information in the book makes sense and is worth reading. Although my son is now an adult and I have grandchildren that are past the infant stage, I thought it would be a good idea to explore the changes now that I have an infant grandchild. I highly recommend reading about this method to anyone else with an infant. The information in the book is fascinating, but my DIL was initially reluctant to read it due to the vocabulary used. We both found the use of the word "weaning" in the title and description a bit misleading and confusing. However, once she read the book, she agreed that the information was interesting and helpful. She plans to discuss it with her doctor and my son, and they will decide how to proceed. #BabyLedWeaning #MalinaLinkasMalkani #RockridgePress #kindleunlimited #infant #honestreview #nonfiction #bookreviewer #thrillerbookloverspromotions #thrillerfriendsunite #thrillerobsessedbookishclub #ReadersOfTheLateArc #TalkWordyToMeTeam #lovetoread #bookworm #lovebooks #booknerd #readaholic #bookstagrammer
Very helpful!
I bought this book for when my baby first started solids. It contained a lot of helpful information, presented simply with a ton of reference pictures. Definitely a great introduction to baby led weaning, though it probably won’t be the only resource you need. I’d recommend this book plus the Solid Starts app!
