Baby Led Weaning Made Simple

The first thing to note is that in the context of this book, weaning refers to the process of helping an infant become accustomed to eating solid food.

As Aydela notes, she educated herself on the topic of baby led weaning (BLW), and thus she sympathizes with readers who have no prior familiarity with the topic. This book really does make the concepts and rationale of BLW simple and easy to understand. The book includes a FAQ section that addresses several questions that the reader might have.

The book encourages flexibility in implementing BLW, particularly regarding the age of the child at which to begin, and regarding combining BLW with traditional feeding methods.

The book strongly emphasizes safety issues connected with BLW, particularly the need to cut foods into shapes that minimize the chance of choking, to be prepared with first aid training, and to keep the child from getting distracted while eating.

The book includes several references to support claims that it makes about BLW.

The book concludes with a set of delicious-looking vegan recipes that can be used to prepare foods for BLW.

After a non-successful, traditional feeding method with our first, I decided to look into BLW with our second.

This e-book by Aydela Shatzberg has been such a great introduction! I used to think BLW was extreme but Aydela normalizes it so that it is approachable and realistic for your family. She makes it personal but non-judgemental as well.

The information was clear and concise. Recommended reading for anyone considering BLW!

This book is a smooth and easy read packed with useful information and tips.

I heard of BLW but couldn't find any reasons to try it, or any proof that it was actually a good thing.

This book is so clear and covered all of my questions. Why should I try? Is it safe? What are the benefits?

I wish I had this book earlier!
