This book is absolutely out-of-this-world fabulous! I am a mother for the fourth time and when I had my first I had no idea about weaning. This book gave me the tools to help my daughter be an exceptionally good eater. It has recipes in it, a day by day guideline for the beginning stages of weaning and fantastic information. It is the only book I've needed for weaning. There was only one small piece of information that was missing from the book; after we started weaning my daughter started crying when eating, and I did some research and learned that in the very, very beginning food should be really runny, like water running off the spoon. She was just learning to get it off the spoon, and if it is too thick, their choking-mechanism kicks in. I have four very healthy children who were exclusively breastfed and this book is designed to help increase your baby's iron levels as they start to diminish after 6 months (if exclusively breastfed). This is an absolute must for any parent who wants their child to eat healthy right from the start. 10/10!

It is in metric so some conversion would be needed (easy to google a conversion website though) and the author usually includes the faranheit degrees for oven use.

Making your own baby food from the start may sound overwhelming but it isn't. It's just getting in a groove and figuring out what works for you. I wouldn't do it any other way!
