This delicious, nutritious collection of 120 family friendly recipes is paired with useful advice and essential tips to equip parents with the power to choose what’s best for their baby. Whilst purees provide an obvious bridge between liquid and solid foods, self-feeding offers a prime opportunity for babies to discover their natural abilities to explore a wide variety of tastes and textures, encouraging independence and good eating habits.

Many families find that incorporating a mix of both works best for their baby. Whether you are choosing exclusive BLW or combining with spoon-feeding, this book is the ultimate companion for exploring self-feeding safely.

This book helps you to record and store all those special memories of your baby’s first precious year, with ideas and spaces for things like milestones and what the world was like during the first year of their life.

The front title section can be pulled off to turn it into a lovely journal type book with the adorable elephants on the cover. Inside you can jot down different baby’s names – it’s always fun to know if you might have been called something else! You can fill in your family tree and tell your baby how you felt when they arrived.

When they’re older your child can learn what the world was during their first year, so don’t forget to write down who is currently the president, your favourite contemporary music artist, and the prices of stamps and milk.

There’s plenty of space to let them know all the details of their first year that were special and memorable. You can include what your baby learns, their new experiences and favourite toy! There will be lots of firsts for baby, and you will want to recall them all, like the first time they smiled, learned to kiss or call you mama or papa. There are pockets for photographs so you can capture their first steps and remember them forever.

Annabel also provides information on your baby’s development and helpful advice to encourage new achievements. She has included five delicious recipes for various stages, and for that special milestone – a birthday cake!
