Born to Eat: A Baby-Led Weaning Guide That Supports Intuitive Eating for the Whole Family

Updated & Revised! Age-based advice, step-by-step instructions, help for parents, and easy recipes to ensure that parents and caregivers introduce their infant to healthy and tasty food as early as possible. A great guide for those who want to know more about intuitive eating and baby-led weaning (BLW)! We are all Born to Eat and it seems only natural for parents to start at the beginning—with their babies! When babies show signs of readiness for solid foods, they can eat almost everything the family eats and become healthy, happy eaters in the process. By honoring self-regulation (also an innate skill) and focusing on a whole food foundation, we can foster healthier children, parents, and families.

With a little patience, presence, and skill, you can transform nearly any family meal into a baby-friendly food. Who knew a little planning could have the whole family eating together, and better? Eating is an innate skill that has been overcomplicated by marketing schemes and a dieting culture. It’s time to leave the dieting culture behind for the whole family. It starts with the baby’s first bite! In the second edition of Born to Eat, readers will enjoy updates based on new research surrounding competent eaters, food insecurity, allergy guidelines, juice recommendations, food acceptance, as well as new recipes and family menus! With a focus on self-feeding and a baby-led weaning approach, nutritionists and wellness experts Wendy Jo Peterson and Leslie Schilling provide useful advice every parent should have.
