review 1: Title: Baby-led Weaning: Helping Your Baby to Love Good Food.Author: Gill Rapley and Tracey Murkett.Genre: Nonfiction, Health, Family, Baby, Food, Information.Plot: Weaning your baby from milk to solids can be a stressful, daunting task. But historically, it wasn't always like that and it doesn't have to be like that anymore. The authors, both moms and one a nurse, take you through the simple basics of baby-led weaning. Allowing your baby {at six months} to feed himself with big chunks of food {carrots, celery, strawberries, roast beef, etc.} gives the baby control over how much they eat, what they eat and when they want to eat. You don't have to waste time and money making purees` that baby will probably just through onto the floor, and you don't have to worry about wheth... moreer baby is eating enough or not. Their little appetites will sort themselves out. With the benefits outweighing the negatives, baby-led weaning is a sure way to go.Likes/Dislikes: The concept is an intriguing one; I've been experimenting with it with my own 10 month old baby and it actually does work. While I don't personally like her grabbing food straight off my plate {she usually wants the plate anyway} or give her a bunch of food just to play with {budget issues}, I do give her own bits of food and she has a lot of fun squishing, tearing, chewing and drooling all over it. Apples, pizza, roast beef and mashed potatoes are her favorites. I do still give her simple one or two fruit/veggie blend purees` in the handy squeeze punches because she likes them. The only objection I have toward the book is that it was very repetitive; most of the repetition was so cleverly done that you hardly noticed it, but it was still there and got old after awhile. The baby pictures were really cute.Rating: PG-14 and up, mainly for reading level. Recommended for all ages.Date Review Written: November 20th, 2014.
review 2: I tend to overthink things. Starting solids will be one of those things. After reading about BLW all over the place, I figured I'd pick up this book and we would be doing BLW. After reading this book, I am less convinced to do it, because it's not backed up by any actual science. Just anecdotal evidence, and story after story after story about how well someone's 9 month old is SUCH A GREAT EATER!!! After doing more research on the subject, I learned that a lot of babies start off as great eaters, but later become more picky as they enter toddlerhood. These include BLW babies as well as spoon fed babies. I figure I will just try some purées and try some whole foods and see how it goes. I expect that Baby will be into BLW just because she has such great fine motor skills already and loves putting things in her mouth. But we will see.... I Know I will be a nervous wreck about the choking hazards regardless of the books assurances that she is unlikely to choke as long as she is allowed to control her food intake and is watched closely! We'll see how it goes.... We start next week!! less
