The Experiment
review 1: Seriously, who knew you don't have to spoon feed! And who knew it actually leads to a more confident and better eater if you let your baby lead the way!I read Baby-Led Weaning because my super awesome and smart doctor recommended it. I got this book because my library also had this one. I actually like this one a little better because it explains everything more concisely and then gives some great recipes to try! I was blown away by the fact that I don't have to fuss with spoon feeding and am now so stoked to have a battle free food introduction process! Can't wait to get started actually, 11 more days to go before my daughter is of age to get to trying grown up food! This is a MUST READ for all parents of infants!
review 2: This gives a great overview of th
... moree self-feeding process. I knew I wanted to go this route with my son, but really wanted a how-to on which foods to feed first, etc. since it's not the "traditional" stages/puree feeding that most do with their babies. It also describes how to tell if your baby is ready for this method. It doesn't necessarily list exact foods that are best, but it does describe textures that are good to start with. The whole first section is just enough information for me to give good talking points for when curious and/or judgmental family and friends ask why he's munching on an avocado slice at six months. I have yet to try any of the recipes, but I know I will. I am looking for flavorful recipes that don't include a lot of salt (I know I can omit it from other recipes, but if salt is the only seasoning...) since it's not good for babies. Plus, the point of BLW is for the baby to eat what you're eating, so these recipes should facilitate just that. less

I love the philosophy behind this book, but the content was a little repetitive.
