As soon as your baby approaches six months old it can be so exciting to prepare for the introduction of solid foods. Baby-led weaning books are a great way to gather the necessary information you need as a parent for success.
How you start the journey by introducing solid foods to your baby can really set them up for the rest of their lives. New habits, tastes, and textures are all being introduced, which can be a bit overwhelming for your little one.
When our daughter started eating solids, we used a mix of purees and baby-led weaning tips. It was amazing to see how the baby-led weaning meals we gave her sparked her interest! She loved to explore the new foods, feeling, smelling, and eating them all by herself.
However, for this to happen we had to first be prepared to begin the baby-led weaning journey. This preparation began by reading baby-led weaning books, like the ones in this list!
As parents we learned key information, including the readiness signs: baby can sit up on their own unsupported, baby can hold food and bring it to their mouth, and baby can successfully move food around in their mouth to avoid choking or spitting it up.
As you read the baby-led weaning books below, you too will learn some vital information to start your baby-led weaning journey off on the right foot!

This book is considered “the holy grail” of baby-led weaning! If you want to only read one book on the topic, this is where you should begin.
Not only will this book provide you with everything you need to know on a practical level before you begin your baby-led weaning journey, but it will also touch on the emotional side of things too!
I loved reading this book because it gave me the confidence I needed. As a new mom, I had fears and concerns and this book addressed every single one of them.

When I began the baby-led weaning journey with my daughter, one thing I began to struggle with was staying creative with meal ideas. I noticed that I kept feeding her the same foods because I had run out of ideas.
This cookbook was a lifesaver because it helped me come up with creative meal ideas and keep my daughter’s diet wholesome.
I also was able to introduce her to a lot more foods because of the cookbook recipe suggestions. Without this book, I would have struggled with how to prepare and cook several different foods!
This book is by the same authors as book number one on this list and is a great companion to it, so consider purchasing them together.

This baby-led weaning book combines all the information you need to know to get started while also incorporating some easy and practical recipes! I especially loved how easy these recipes are for me to make and my baby to enjoy.
I also like that this book, like several others on this list, emphasizes the importance of family meals. Not only does it help with the emotional development of your child, but it also makes the chore of cooking and preparing food easier.
When your baby can eat a modified version of what you are eating as a family, then you don’t have to prepare two separate meals each mealtime. That would take all the joy out of baby-led weaning!

What makes this book unique out of all the baby-led weaning books is the stage-by-stage approach. As a mother myself, I found that there were several awkward stages between six months and year, where my daughter struggled with baby-led weaning.
This book takes those awkward moments and gives genuine tips to help you make the meals unique and fun despite setbacks.
It also keeps recipes allergy-friendly with labels like gluten-free or nut-free. This is another fun baby-led weaning book to have on hand during meal times!

I loved the emphasis this book has on a natural approach. We all want the best for our children but often convenience foods can be tempting. Usually cooking healthy, from-scratch meals take just the same amount of time.
This book makes cooking healthy meals at home easy and less intimidating! Starting your baby off with healthy, nutritious foods is the best thing for them and books like this make it easy.
