The popular and trusted guide to starting your baby on solid foods, newly revised with the most up-to-date information for today’s new parents.


What if you could skip the tiny jars and pouches of bland baby food in favor of a more natural, flavor-filled, and family-friendly transition to solid foods? Baby-led feeding (also known as baby-led weaning) is just that. Feeding your baby a variety of healthy, wholesome solid foods, rather than relying solely on purees, is thought to promote motor skills and establish lifelong healthy eating habits.

Author, food director at Real Simple magazine, and former food editor at Parents and Health Jenna Helwig gives parents easy-to-follow introductions for this popular feeding method. With more than 100 ideas and recipes, this bright, photo-driven book includes chapters on the benefits of this approach, when and how to get started, essential safety and nutrition guidelines, frequently asked questions, basic fruit and vegetable prep, more complex finger foods, and family meals. The newly revised edition contains updated information regarding common allergens and substitutions, helpful new content like sample menus, and new recipes featuring a wider range of flavors. All recipes have been reviewed by a registered dietitian and include nutrition information to ensure a healthy mealtime.

Broccoli and Ham Egg Muffins from Baby-Led Feeding

Makes 12 mini muffins

These savory little bites have a lot going for them. They’re ideal any time of day—breakfast, lunch, snack, or dinner. They’re portable: Tote them to daycare or just out and about. And they are also easily customizable. Instead of broccoli and ham finely chop 1¼ cups cooked veggies and/or meat to use up what’s in your fridge. If your mini-muffin cups are on the larger side, this will make 12 muffins; if the cups are smaller, you may be able to make more.

Directions:

1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray 12 mini-muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray.

2 Stir together the broccoli and ham. Divide evenly among the muffin cups.

3 In a medium measuring cup, whisk together the eggs and pepper to taste. Pour the eggs over the broccoli mixture in the muffin cups, dividing them evenly.

4 Bake for 25 minutes, or until set. Cool in the muffin cups for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Make Ahead: Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Serve cold, at room temperature, or briefly reheated.

Nutrition per serving (1 muffin): 123 calories; 11g protein; 8g fat (3g sat. fat); 1g carbohydrates; 0g fiber; 0g sugars; 149mg sodium; 53mg calcium; 1.6mg iron; 147mg potassium; 7mg vitamin C; 572IU vitamin A

Ingredients:

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 cup very finely chopped cooked broccoli
  • 1 slice ham, very finely chopped (about ¼ cup)
  • 4 eggs
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Editorial Reviews

Review

“If the ultimate goal is to create a positive food environment for your baby, and ultimately for your whole family, I can’t think of a more clear roadmap for parents than Jenna Helwig’s book. Clear, approachable, and, most important, fun, it’s the kind of manual that is destined to be the most sauce-stained and dog-eared in your kitchen.” — Jenny Rosenstratch, author of Dinner, a Love Story  

“It starts with food—real food—and Baby-Led Feeding lays the foundation for a healthy relationship with food that lasts a lifetime. Jenna Helwig has written a comprehensive guide to baby-led feeding that is smart, approachable, and fun. From first bites to family dinner, this book equips parents to confidently feed their children as well as nurture a wholesome approach to eating.”  — Aimée Wimbush-Bourque, SimpleBites.net

Enjoying the book
I really enjoy all the pictures and the way the book is laid out. So excited to try the recipes out once my LO gets bigger.The only reasons I gave it 4 stars was because of the weird page that wasn’t completely cut. I like all my books to be a very good condition and the pages being like bugs me…. It’s just one of those things I can’t help. Oh well I’ll try to ignore it!

I purchased this because my kids were introducing baby led weaning to my youngest grandson, and he is here on a regular basis. I learned a lot - the book provides extensive understanding of the baby led weaning process and there are lots of photographs to illustrate how to cut/prepare the food to avoid choking. The teaching part of the book is followed by many recipes - which have been consistently delicious - and the short ribs recipe - OMG!!! Worth getting the book just for that recipe!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS THE ONLY BLF BOOK YOU NEED
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2020
Verified Purchase
I LOVE THIS BOOK! And now I will gift it to every new parent.
Pros:
1. The introduction is short & sweet. It gets right to the point for the reasons behind baby-led feeding/baby-led weening, what the difference is & why parents like BLF. It's two pages. I barely got through 1 chapter of a book about BLW & I wanted to put myself in the oven. I don't have time for that.
2. The recipes include time to prep/cook, whether the food freezes well, how long it keeps in the fridge & nutrition info
3. The book also includes general nutrition info, like calorie goals, essential vitamins & a daily meal outline.
4. The book shows sizes of how big to cut foods - VERY helpful. I was so worried my kid was going to choke if I cut things too big/small. But this book has pictures of many different foods, what sizes to cut things, & how to change the size as the kid gets older
5. Some recipes evolve for older kids. A simple recipe for a 6mo will include new ingredients for the 12mo version, a great way to keep introducing your kid to new foods. Many of the recipes are adaptable.
6. This book does not shame you for serving pureed food, unlike other BLW books. Some kids do better with softer foods or purees. Or parents grab pouches when they are on the go because it's just easy. And IT'S FINE! This book does not shame any parents for the choices they make regarding their kids food. It even includes recipes for different pureed foods. Sometimes a fruit smoothie with secret spinach is the only way my kid is going to eat a vegetable. And he loves it!

This cool book for your child’s first year of eating solids and beyond is fantastic. It tells you about portions, feeding schedules by age, different recipes by age, etc. I absolutely love it and cook from it every week for my little one and our family. The recipes are simple and wholesome. This cook book has given me a lot more confidence and direction during the eating process. I highly recommend this book.

Me encantó el libro!!! Está bien hecho, el material de las hojas, impresión e imágenes es muy bueno. El formato en que presentan la información es muy claro y aunque esta en ingles es fácil entenderlo y aprender más sobre la alimentación complementaria a libre demanda. En definitiva creo que es el mejor libro para empezar, te da muchos consejos, te explica las mejores formas de presentarle el alimento al bebé, los cuidados que debes tener y recetas para ir introduciendo más variedad. Compre en kindle uno de Begoña Prats pero me quedo a deber información y siento que con éste aprendí más y mejor. El único inconveniente es con el envío y manejo de Amazon MX... ya van dos libros distintos que compro y los dos han llegado algo maltratados y sucios, como si tuvieran tiempo en los estantes y la verdad es que el libro no es ni muy barato ni muy caro pero en definitiva uno espera recibir un libro NUEVO en las mejores condiciones posibles, agrego foto para que estén al tanto, por dentro no trae ningún daño por eso no le quito estrellas además que me parece uno de los mejores libros para aprender del tema.
