BLW Baby Food Cookbook: A Stage-by-Stage Approach to Baby-Led Weaning with Confidence

The BLW Baby Food Cookbook offers a stage-by-stage approach to baby-led weaning, allowing parents to confidently introduce solid foods to their babies. While the recipes in this book are delicious, some reviewers have noted concerns about the inclusion of salt and sugar in the ingredients. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends avoiding added salt before 1 year and added sugar before 2 years, which may make the recipes less suitable for younger babies. However, the book does provide alternative ingredients and suggestions for omitting certain ingredients that may not be suitable for young babies. One potential drawback of the cookbook is that it does not include the cooking time or serving sizes, making it less convenient for busy parents who need to plan meals efficiently. However, for those who are not concerned with these details, the book offers a wide range of tasty recipes that can serve a larger number of people, making it a good option for families with multiple children or larger households. Overall, the BLW Baby Food Cookbook provides delicious recipes for baby-led weaning, but some caution is needed for younger babies due to the inclusion of salt and sugar. The lack of cooking time and serving sizes may also be a downside for busy parents.
