The recipes are so easy to follow but BLW did not turn out the way I imagined - being a working mom and not having full control over what my baby eats I can’t be as creative as I wanted!

This book provides both the reasons why and the "how-to" for Baby Led Solids. "Weaning" is not what this is about - really, this book helped me prepare for introducing solids to my six month old, who has been wanting to eat off my plate for several weeks! The recipes are simple and delicious and portioned just right for two adults and a baby. If you have a bigger family, there is a cookbook that serves the right size portions.

This was recommended to me over the original "Baby Led Weaning" book, since it comes with recipes to help introduce a variety of foods. I highly recommend it.

Very simplistic and a very, very quick read but a unique perspective on starting the baby on solid foods. My wife and I appreciated the perspective and it caused us to alter our approach in a way we found beneficial.

A collection of BLW recipes. Easy to dip in and out of when needed. I feel that more veg could be added to the dishes to bulk them out a bit more for hungrier people. Most of the recipes were good and we would have again. The favourite by all is the tomato and tuna pasta!

A good reminder on the basics for me since it summarises the original book in 50 or so pages. The actual recipes are good ones but I really like pictures with my cookbooks so that means it doesn't get 5 stars.

Recommended by my doctor. Started solids at 6 months! So far so good... Book is simple and easy to follow.
Beverly –
Good start Gives a good idea of how to start. Good recipes for beginners who are still understanding all the in and outs of BLW.

You don't need to read the other book, just this one. This one gives much more practical guide not just the philosophy of baby led weaning. You don't need to read the other book, just this one. This one gives much more practical guide not just the philosophy of baby led weaning.

Helpful Especially helpful for non-cooks. Probably a lot is common sense, but nice to have all in one place for easy reference. A nice selection of vegetables to try.
Laura –
No photos of the food- I like a visual guide in my cookbooks.
Leeann –
I loved the introduction and lessons on how to do baby-led weaning - very informative! The recipes are nice as well-many of them feed 2 adults and 1 baby, but are easy to double if you have a larger family or want to freeze items for later.

This was.. Okay. I read the baby led weaning book first, and was really impressed by the depth of information and the logic behind baby led weaning. I had hoped for some great recipes in this book to back up the ideas. The recipes are good and I will try quite a few of them, but I didn't realise that half the book is given over to a summary of what is in the full baby led weaning book. This meant it felt like a bit of a waste to have bought both. This was.. Okay.

Since introducing a variety of foods and textures is a key part of BLW, it's been helpful to have recipes to branch out to from my normal dinner rotation. BLW is from the UK, so a lot of the recipes are British. It's also a collection of recipes from families, so the directions are sometimes not as specific as cookbooks written by cooks. (e.g. often little indication on low/med/high heat) I love the brief summary at the front of BLW principles and BLW skill development from 6m+.

I liked the concept of feeding the baby what we're eating and the recipes looked interesting, but with Q not able to eat grains yet, it's just not going to work out for us.

Mostly used it as a guideline for the first few months of solid food. But we had a difficult-to-place food sensitivity, so we ended up not using the recipes in here at all.
Heidi –
Much better format than the original BLW book. I appreciated that summary of how to BLW and then having a selection of recipes to use.
