It shows parents why baby-led weaning makes sense and gives them the confidence to trust their baby's natural skills and instincts.

Your baby is allowed to decide how much he wants to eat, how to eat it and to experiment with everything at his own pace. Baby-led weaning is a common-sense, safe, easy and enjoyable approach to feeding your baby. No more purées and weaning spoons, and no more mealtime battles.
