The Big Book of Baby-Led Weaning

“As a registered dietitian and a mom of two, I know how vital it is to get our kids off to a nourishing start and how overwhelming it can be to get that nourishment into their little bodies. This book completely removes the overwhelm and provides a balanced framework for feeding your children that only a pediatric nutrition expert who is also a mom three times over can genuinely do.” –Ayla Barmmer, MS, RD, women’s health and fertility expert, owner of Boston Functional Nutrition, founder of FullWell, and mother of two“There is misunderstanding and a lack of guidance when it comes to introducing solids to babies. In The Big Book of Baby-Led Weaning, Aubrey Phelps not only explains the what and how of BLW but also provides families a step-by-step approach to introducing solids with easy, delicious, nutrient-dense meals based on her experience as a mother, nutritionist, and certified lactation counselor. I am eager to recommend this book to all of the families I work with.” –Candace Gesicki, DC, CLC“This book is a great addition for any parent looking to build happy, trusting, and respectful mealtimes with their children. Aubrey does a wonderful job acknowledging the many ways that kids eat and providing principles to help families to build a long-term healthy relationship with food! A must-have for families!” –Elisabeth Keifer Kraus, MiT, intake review coordinator and parent coach, Growing Independent Eaters“This is the book I wished for as a new mom! The recipes are simple and sensible, and Aubrey’s explanations will make any new parent feel comfortable introducing their baby to food. As a registered dietitian nutritionist, this book is my go-to resource for clients, friends, and family who are exploring baby-led weaning!” –Gretchen Spetz, MS, RDN, LD, owner of The Functional Kitchen LLC
