 Rating: - Useful guide but adapt it to suit your childThe Contented Little Baby Book Of Weaning I was not that impressed with the original CLB book but decided to give Gina another chance so bought this one when I was looking to start my daughter on solids and found it MUCH better. If, like me, you are after a complete step by step guide to weaning and want to know what to give, when, and how much then this is the book for you. However, I would say that, as with CLB, you need to have the confidence to recognise that she doesn't know it all and adapt the advice to suit you and your child. If you want to try banana early on then ignore Gina and go for it! As with CLB, there are places where the book is unrealistic and OTT (washing veg in filtered water, implying you are a bad parent ... Read More: Rating: - helpfulI bought this book because I didn't have a clue how to go about weaning, or what was the best time of day to start and I felt that as a new mum I wanted something to literally spell it out for me. Im not a follower of Gina's routines, far too strict for me but I must say that I liked this book. Although my baby doesnt exactly fit into the feeding times, I use them as a guideline, rather than a rule, which I think is the best way to treat any of Gina's books. My baby also eats a bit more than the recommended 'teaspoon' size portions, even though we have just started weaning at 5 months. The recipes are good & look delicious, I think that i'll be making the same thing for my husband and I as well as baby so that we can all eat together and ... Read More: Rating:  - This book frustrated me and made weaning a very stressful time.Sadly this book didn't cover ANY of my weaning issues with my 7 month old. Getting my baby to take the food, teaching her to drink from anything other than the breast, eating enough to encourage better sleeping patterns....none of these subjects were covered and all of these I have hit a wall with! Frankly, everything else suggested, I have already done myself as it's common sense, all the talk about "cutting out the 10pm feeds" etc is impossible for us. Suggesting certain milk feeds are 'optional' is laughable. Her site does cover these issues but to get answers you need to pay £60 membership a year, since the book cost me £7 and does not help I'm reluctant to buy anything else. My opinion is: This is a book of ... Read More: Rating: - Pretty Helpful GuideNow, I know when I say 'Gina Ford' in front of some Mums they start to hiss, but this book on weaning is pretty useful. It gives a gentle step-by-step guide to introducing your baby to new foods and easy feeding plans for different stages, plus how to cook anything from a carrot to Fish Lyonnaise. As a first-time Mum whose own Mum is not longer here to ask for advice, I found it a great help. I soon relaxed enough to make my own recipes and 'blends' and to trust my instincts on how much to give my baby, but this book really gave me the confidence I needed at the start. The only reason it gets four stars instead of five is because it is (like most Gina Ford) so regimented it could make some new Mum's worry if their baby doesn't fit in ... Read More: Rating: - Great book to get you organised!My son is now 1 and started weaning at around 4 months, I followed Gina Ford's weaning guide from the start, although I hadn't previously read anything else by her. At four months I was still all over the place with feeding, but Gina's feeding schedules sorted us into a much better routine. My son eats three good meals a day and eats a wide variety of food. I think the routine that Gina sets out will really pay off when you are cooking for more children (I only have one at the moment). I took one star off because I felt sometimes she is bit advanced with what she expects a wee one to eat. Overall great book! |
