Loads of information

I had little knowledge on BLW before this book besides being interested in incorporating it into our parenting style. I enjoyed the entire book and will re-listen to it again, that i’m certain of! I can’t wait to give BLW a go with this new found confidence!

Not suitable as an audiobook.

Unfortunately this book does not suit being an audiobook as it describes images, charts and areas to write in which were unable to be translated to audio.

Fad

I bought into this idea initially but it really didn’t seem safe in practice and went against my parenting instincts. My son couldn’t pick up and eat a good amount of food. He has had food in his airway. Even adults choke. I’m trusting my instincts in feeding non-choke-able food until he is older, gradually increasing the course texture. That feels right on an instinctive level. Sure, people didn’t have blenders in the past, but they could pre-chew food for infants and toothless old people. To say nothing of the effect adult enzymes have on the nutrient availability for infants, as well as passing on a genetically co-evolved microbiome.
