Starting Solids

Weaning is one of the most important milestones for moms and dads during the early months of parenthood, often marking the first time that they make big choices for their babies; decisions that will establish their children's eating habits for life. With her years of expertise and personal experience, bestselling author Annabel Karmel guides parents through every aspect of the first months of weaning, inspiring confidence and offering reassurance every step of the way. Starting Solids takes it from the very beginning with the basic, but crucial, details, such as what type of spoon to use, advice on portion size, and the time of day to first offer solid foods. It also encompasses the larger debates and issues, for example, when to begin weaning and the latest allergy advice - giving all the fundamental information that parents need for feeding their baby, from 4 to 12 months. What's more, there are 50 delicious new recipes to jumpstart parents into cooking healthy, nutritious food for their babies, and three menu planners to give extra guidance to parents. Q&As with parents are included throughout to create an all-embracing introduction to weaning, which offers both empathy and reassurance to parents. Starting Solids is the ultimate guide to weaning your child - and one that parents will be sure to recommend to their friends.
