Excellent Guide for All the Family June 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book has been an absolute revelation. Easy step by step guides as to introduce various foods and fantastic recipes that can be adapted for the whole family.Also a very handy A - Z index of foods, and great case studies for any hiccups that can happen. My Little boy (however not so little thanks to this book)eats everything put in front of him and enjoys a fantastic, healthy, varied diet... in fact a lot better diet than his parents. For a family who are worried about weaning would certainly recommend this as their guide. But as with all of Gina's books, should be used as a GUIDE. That way you cant go wrong.

Not the book for us! June 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this book on recommendation by a friend, as I wanted a weaning plan for a 6 month old, and traditionally other weaning books focus on 4 month or 4-6 month weaning.
I suppose I should have expected any book by Gina Ford would be rigid and inflexible, and this is certainly what I got. There was no advice whatsoever about what to do should your baby display a will of their own and refuse to follow the routine, as we discovered with our 6 month old. No advice on how to actually get them to eat! I found myself floundering around and panicking that she had not achieved the 2.5 ice cubes per meal on day 3 etc etc as prescribed by Gina. So i remembered that I'm bringing up a baby, not a robot, ditched the book, plonked some toast, bananas and lumps of cheese in front of madam, and we've never looked back.
The only reason I've given it 2 stars instead of 1 is that some of the recipes may come in handy!

Weaning made easy March 25, 2008
Just what you need before you embark on weaning. A sensible and easy to read book which spells it out for you in a no nonsense manner. It has lists of what foods you can introduce when, daily meal schedules for 6mth olds to 12+mths, great recipes for baby and family, practical freezing advice and questions and answers section which has proved very useful. I only wish I had her on hand as she knows what she is talking about!

As a first time mum how else are you supposed to have a clue how to wean and baby happy and healthy??? This book is simple to follow, easy to read and gathers great information and advice into one place for easy reference. The day by day guide was great and really helpful in the days when thinking is something you just don't have time for! My son eats a great diet based on this book and the recipes in it. Contains summary of weaning advice / info, day by day weaning guide and great recipes.

Helpful Book, Highly Recommended November 13, 2007

I discovered this book as I was about to wean my 6th baby, and was dreading this stage. How I wish I had this book before! The previously massive hurdle has been greatly simplified and weaning is so far going very well. Every mother should read this book, it's a must-have!
As with all books, you should take what makes sense to you, and don't try to follow it to the letter. Gina Ford is very emphatic in her approach, but let's face it,every baby is unique, and as the mother, you are qualified to decide.
Even saying that, this is a great guide for those of us who find weaning a difficult issue.
