Features: From the UK's best-selling parenting magazine "Practical Parenting Guide"! When to start eating what food, focusing on babies' early food and nutrition. As parents, we only want to give our children the best. But, besides milk, can we give them a better start in life? Those spoonfuls of very smooth baby puree mark a new, exciting stage in the baby's development. Starting to feed them these foods teaches babies how to suck and swallow, rather than just suck. Sucking and swallowing are quite different from sucking in terms of physiological reflexes and require some time to learn; only when the baby masters this reflex does food become nutritionally significant. This book provides parents with many practical suggestions and helpful tips, covering all the knowledge needed for feeding babies for the first year. The clear and intuitive charts accurately tell you what to eliminate from their diet at each stage, from 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, and 9-12 months old. From the first puree after weaning to enjoying solid foods and the joy of eating with the family as the baby approaches its first birthday, it's all included. Providing babies with the right food is a wonderful way for parents to express their love for their little ones.
