Description Baby-led weaning can seem intimidating, but this book offers an easier, more enjoyable way to approach it! This groundbreaking revised and expanded edition splits the sturdier guide and the massive recipe collection into two separate books. The 'BLW Research Lab,' a driving force behind the baby-led weaning boom in Korea over the past three years, has released this revised and expanded edition of their popular book, 'Baby-Led Weaning & Toddler Meal Manual.' In addition to the beloved menus from the original edition, new finger food recipes have been added, and based on reader feedback, the early-stage whole-food stick guide and toddler meal menus have been greatly expanded. The authors carefully considered how to make baby-led weaning easier for parents who are new to both cooking and parenting, packing the book with as many helpful tips as possible. Every existing recipe has been reviewed and refined based on two years of feedback from beginner parents who tried the original recipes. Additionally, over 10,000 baby-led weaning consultation cases collected over three years since the community was founded have been organized into a Q&A section of 100 questions and answers, offering plenty of reassurance to ease parents' fears and worries about baby-led weaning. The guide book is compact and lightweight, perfect for reading anywhere, while the recipe book uses the beloved spring binding format from the original. This thoughtfully designed two-book set reflects careful consideration for busy parents.
