Ten years ago, Baby-Led Weaning ended the myth that babies need to be spoon-fed purées. In fact, at about six months, most babies are ready to discover solid food for themselves. Today, baby-led weaning (BLW) is a global phenomenon—and this tenth anniversary edition of the definitive guide explains all its benefits:
- Baby participates in family meals right from the start, and learns to love a variety of foods.
- Nutritious milk feedings continue while Baby transitions to solids at his or her own pace.
- By self-feeding, Baby develops hand-eye coordination, chewing skills—and confidence!
