BLW complementary foods | Tracy Murkett, Jill Rapley

In this book, leading physician Jill Rapley and journalist and mother Tracy Murkett debunk the myth of spoon-feeding babies, showing why independent feeding from the very beginning of solid foods is the best way for a child to develop healthily. With the BLW method, you can skip the puree stage and move straight to solid foods, guided by your baby's own desires.

Around six months, most babies are ready to join family meals and forage for food on their own. BLW is a guide to accompany this important stage of your baby’s development, showing you how to help them:

• participate in family dinners from the first days;
• experiment with food at your own pace;
• develop new skills, including hand-eye coordination and chewing skills;
• learn to appreciate the variety of tastes and enjoy eating.

BLW has become an instant phenomenon in the UK, inspiring a rapidly growing and now international online community of parents who practice the approach. In their book, the authors provide all the information they need to raise healthy, confident children.
