What babies really want: With the successful concept of Baby-led Weaning (BLW), children from the age of starting solid foods are offered solid food instead of purees, which they can eat independently. BLW supports the child in their developmental milestones, promotes their independence, puts an end to the usual puree-feeding battles, and helps children become health-conscious adults. This foundational book by Rapley and Murkett has made BLW popular in Germany as well. It has been completely revised and expanded, taking into account the latest scientific findings. Among other things, it includes the latest information on allergies, safe feeding practices, and the application of BLW in childcare settings.
