ReviewsPitman, a grandmother and longtime La Leche League leader, convincingly argues that babies and toddlers like being able to choose and pick up foods themselves. In the process, they learn to listen to their bodies and figure out what and how much to eat. Later in life, as a result, they're less likely to become obese. Pitman mixes anecdotes about her own grandkids with advice about how to know when it's OK to start solid foods after the first six months. She also includes a few baby-friendly recipes, such as hummus, oatmeal pancakes, and yogurt-and-applesauce ice pops, and offers first-food no-no's, such as spicy foods, processed meats, and honey, which may contain botulism spores that can make babies very ill. An index makes it easy to turn to subjects, including "allergies." Adorable photos of healthy, smiling babies with nicely cut-up fruits and vegetables on their high-chair trays help Pitman illustrate the case for baby-led weaning., An excellent resource for both new and seasoned parents. It's filled with everything parents could want to know to get their child started with solid foods. The book covers everything from signs of readiness and first foods, to safe feeding practices, to special diets and allergies. It has great information on setting the stage for lifelong, healthy eating habits and even includes some great recipes. It covers what parents can expect and what to do if problems, like constipation, arise. Teresa Pitman does a good job of sharing fact-based information in an easy to understand, engaging way
