About the book:

 In this practical, research-backed comprehensive resource, parents will receive a step-by-step guide to confidently and safely introduce solid food to their baby, from 6-12 months. As parents themselves, the authors know how overwhelming it can be to sift through contradictory advice, which is why they’ve developed a simple, step-by-step framework to empower families to navigate this journey with confidence. The goal is simple: help parents introduce a wide variety of nutritious foods through family meals before baby turns one, setting the foundation for lifelong healthy eating habits.
