Weaning,
By A Customer
This review is from: Contented Little Baby Book of Weaning: Your One-Stop Guide to Contented Feeding (Paperback)
As a first time mum I had only really got to grips with feeding my baby milk when people started talking about weaning. Anxious to get it right as my baby had always been a fussy eater, I bought every book on the subject and attended a 'weaning party' at my local health centre. Advice varied greatly so I decided to follow this book as it seemed very clear and it gives you a day by day plan to follow. This is especially helpful to get you started. I also found the information on when to introduce each type of food very useful and my baby is now enjoying a wide range of fruit and vegetables. I feel confident about when to try something new and am really enjoying my baby experiencing different foods. However, I have found that he eats more than is suggested in the book for his age as he is a big baby, so don't be frightened to give more or less as Gina suggests. I really like the plan as you give the milk directly followed by solids unlike other plans which suggest mid morning milk then lunch. I found the latter very restricting as it means you end up feeding more often. This is an excellent book and it has made weaning fun rather than stressful.

This review is from: Contented Little Baby Book of Weaning: Your One-Stop Guide to Contented Feeding (Paperback)
This is a very useful book - whether or not you follow the routines that Gina Ford recommends in her 'Contented Little Baby Book'. In this book, Gina suggests menus for every step of the weaning process and explains the thinking behind introducing new foods so that the baby's digestive system is not overloaded and any intolerances are picked up at once. My 6 month old now enjoys a range of vegetables and fruit that would put a lot of adults to shame so, personally, I feel the book has done its job.But.... there are some buts. Firstly, preparing homemade, organic food for every meal will not be an option for everyone, although you could still follow the eating plans with commercial food. Secondly, even if you do make food at home, not all of the ingredients are easy to find. I searched every major supermarket chain and a number of healthfood shops and none of them stocked 'baby barley'. None of the people I spoke to had even heard of it. The third and final problem with this book is the editing, which is what lost the fifth star in my rating. As with 'The Contented Little Baby Book', there are inconsistencies. They don't stop the book being useful - but as you stand there with a hungry baby, trying to double check you've got things right, you need clarity! If Gina or her publisher ever reads this, please make sure that an editor goes through the next editions of both with a fine-toothed comb. On balance, 'The Contented Little Baby Book of Weaning' is a helpful and useful book, especially for those of us new to motherhood and looking for some guidance. Be prepared to interpret the instructions though, as they will not be practical for everyone and could be presented more clearly.

This book makes weaning a doddle!,
This review is from: The Contented Little Baby Book Of Weaning (Paperback)
My daughter is almost a year old now and loves food.....she has yet to refuse a single type of fruit or vegetable. She eats several types of fish, chicken, lamb etc...and I put it all down to following the guidelines in this book. Infact so far, as far as my experience of motherhood goes, I am most proud of what I've achieved in terms of weaning.
I am a healthcare professional and cannot fault the general advice given on weaning. The guidelines for first stage weaning are very prescriptive and this is exactly what I needed! The recipes are foolproof and easy to prepare. Being a book addict, I have tried other baby weaning recipes but have ALWAYS come back to this book. A brilliant piece of work, I really can't recommend it highly enough!
