Your baby's food journey begins with his first bite. In fact, starting solids is a milestone that sets your child's future foundation of health. Yet, starting solids is one of the most confusing and daunting tasks of new parents. Never before has there been more food options, feeding methods and scientific recommendations -- all of which can lead to confusion, doubt, and even fear. What are the best first foods? What can my baby eat, how do I prevent food allergies, and what should I avoid giving my child? When can my child start solids and how do I help her try new food? How can I help make the eating experience nurturing, positive and nourishing? The Smart Mom's Guide to Starting Solids answers all your questions, from critical nutrients and their optimal food sources to best feeding practices for self-regulated eating, and more. This guide will give you the step-by-step guidance you need to progressively introduce a variety of flavors, textures, and eating experiences so that your baby enjoys eating, while hitting all the age-appropriate milestones and nutritional requirements throughout the first year. By the end of this book, you will be a Smart Mom, knowing what to feed your baby, how to do it, where you're heading with your child, and why the first year of eating is very important to your baby's health, growth, intellect and relationship with food.
