Forget baby purées and spoon-feeding—there’s an easier, more natural way to introduce your little one to solid foods.

Now, with The Baby-Led Weaning Cookbook, cooking family meals that your little one can share will be a cinch. Gill Rapley and Tracey Murkett—founders of the baby-led weaning movement—collect 130 recipes perfectly suited for baby-led weaning, as well as:
- Straightforward advice on which foods to start with
- Essential at-a-glance information on nutrition and food safety
- Anecdotes and quotes from parents who follow baby-led weaning
- Tips on minimizing the mess, keeping food the right size for little hands, and more!
