Forget baby pur es and spoon-feeding--your baby can join in at family mealtimes, right from the start

Publisher's note: The Baby-Led Weaning Cookbook--Volume 2 was previously published in hardcover as The Baby-Led Weaning Family Cookbook.

Baby-Led Weaning is a global phenomenon Now, here are 99 more delicious, no-stress recipes for baby-led weaning (BLW) families to enjoy together, from the creators of the BLW movement. With these recipes, introducing your baby to solid foods is easier--and more commonsense--than ever. Be amazed as Baby explores the same foods you enjoy--how they feel, smell, and taste; how to grasp and chew them--all at his or her own pace.

In addition to recipes that are perfectly suited to growing families, Gill Rapley and Tracey Murkett review all the benefits of BLW:

• It's convenient: The whole family eats the same meal--together.
• It helps Baby learn: BLW builds motor skills, coordination, and confidence.
• It promotes lifelong health: By teaching Baby to love a variety of foods and to gauge fullness, BLW helps prevent picky eating--and overeating--later on

About the Author
Gill Rapley, PhD, has studied infant feeding and child development for many years. She worked as a public health nurse for over twenty years and has also been a midwife and a voluntary breastfeeding counselor. She developed the theory of baby-led weaning while studying babies' developmental readiness for solids as part of her master's degree and has since been awarded a PhD for research comparing spoon-feeding with self-feeding. Gill lives in Kent, England, with her husband and has three grown children, all of whom tried their best to show her that they didn't need any help with solid foods.

Tracey Murkett is a writer, journalist, and breastfeeding peer supporter. After following baby-led weaning with her own daughter, she wanted to let other parents know how enjoyable and stress-free mealtimes with babies and young children can be. She lives in London with her partner and their daughter.
