You guys, my guide to baby-led weaning is here!
I am beside myself with excitement to finally share the project I’ve been working on with you! For many months, and I might even say years, I’ve been putting every scrap of my free time into this…
A Mom’s Practical Guide to Baby-Led Weaning
A detailed BOOK stuffed full of everything anyone could ever want to know about baby led weaning! It walks through what baby-led weaning is, why it’s great for babies and for parents, when and how to start, answers to common concerns like when to start solids and which foods to avoid, and my list of the ten best baby-led weaning foods to try first.
Wait, hold on, what?
Let me back up for a second and explain how I got here.
When Hailey was approaching 6 months I started researching methods of introducing solids to babies. In my research I came across baby-led weaning, the method of introducing babies to solids that forgoes the reliance on traditional purees and instead starts babies off with real, solid finger foods, prepared appropriately of course.
I was hooked on the idea. I started trying to find out everything I could about this method, but found very little true information that answered my questions: Was it safe? Would she get enough nutrition? Are there any benefits or drawbacks to this method? How the heck do you even do it?
I wasn’t able to find a source that answered all my questions and felt I had to just jump in somewhat blindly and try it.
Well, as many of you might know, we LOVED it. It worked so well for us and I credit Hailey’s continuous adventurous eating habits (at now three years old) to baby-led weaning. We are using and loving it for Kaitlyn (my little cover model) now too. Baby-led weaning is what sparked the creation of Munchkin Meals as well.
After becoming such big fans of the time-saving method, I couldn’t shake the idea that someone needed to write a more thorough book on the topic and David finally looked at me and said, well, do it then. A couple years, a ridiculous number of hours of research and plenty of messy, first-hand experience later, I did.
The book, which is now available as an e-book download, is a result of my desire to answer the numerous questions I had in the beginning and provide insight into the practice for any moms (or dads!) out there interested in introducing their babies to real food in a practical way. If you’d rather have a printed copy for your shelf, it’s also available through Amazon.
I am incredibly proud to finally introduce it to you after so many months working so hard on it behind the scenes.
Thank you so much for your support and happy eating!
Nichole says
I always requested bbq chicken as a child for my birthday dinner. My youngest is 4 months and in a couple months I plan to try baby led weaning with her! I was always scared to try it with my first, but not see the great benefits!

Good for you. We did not use BLW with our now two year old son, but I’d love to use it with future children. We have a picky little friend on our hands now, so I am always interested in learning more about how to get babies/children to try new foods. Good for you for writing this book! Thanks for the giveaway!!

I’d eat anything as a kid, still will!
jenny pittsburgh says
I can’t even tell you how excited I am about this book!

Kaitlyn says
My favorite was any kind of pasta! Congratulations on your new book!! I’ve always wanted to try baby led weaning and hope to with my second!
Meg says
My favorite childhood food was salami – it was a special treat that I only really got once a year or so. I still think of it as a special treat even though I could buy it whenever (I don’t!). A huge congratulations to you on your accomplishment! I can’t believe you kept it a secret for so long.
Alena says
Congratulations on the book!!
My favorite food from childhood was bread we baked together!
Brenda says
My favorite thing to eat was a freezer pop. I like to think I’ve come along way since then, but man, a freezer pop sure sounds good right now (at 7 in the morning when it’s 20 degrees outside, haha).
Congrats on the book!!! So exciting!
irene says
that’s is such exciting new. my little one is 1 y but I’m going to just buy it just because!
Katie says
Congratulations- what an accomplishment! We also did BLW with my daughter, mostly b/c she hated purees and wanted to hold things herself and she is also a relatively good eater, even at 2 1/2!
Sad to say I think my favorite food from childhood was french fries…at least that’s what sticks in my mind. 🙂

This is incredible! Good for you!!
Maria says

Laura Wright says
Congrats on the book. My favorite food from childhood was mac n cheese.
Marnie @ SuperSmartMama says
I love it! And just in time…I’ll have to read up on your book before my daughter is ready for solids…which gives me about four more months. I can’t wait, I didn’t do such a great job with my son and he is a total carb lover. I wish he ate more veggies.
Magda says
Congratulation on the book! I am so happy for you!!!
My favorite food when I was a kid was cheese pierogi (I am from Poland and that’s where I grew up) and I used to put soooo (too) much sugar on it 🙂
And actually I still love pierogi, and that is what my mom makes for me when I go home to visit.
Congrats again!
Eileen says
Congratulations on the book!! I would love to win this- I’d never heard of baby led weaning until I read your blog. We do it with our son and it’s SO great! We plan on doing it with number 2 also. I’m sure I have a lot left to learn so I definitely want to read your book!
Brittany @ Delights and Delectables says
Oh I need this! My favorite food as a baby was bananas!

I grew up eating traditional Italian food – sharp provolone, sausage, pesto… yummm
Jennifer L says
Congratulations!!! My favorite food was pizza!
Amanda says
With two babies on the way, this would be a great book! 🙂

Eck! Perfect timing! My 7 month old looooves to eat. And while we’ve had success with purees, I’ve been really itching to try more solid/real food with her!
Jen says
Wow, congratulations! As a kid my favorite was baked ziti or my mom’s homemade chicken soup,
Sarah says
Hi Brittany! We met years ago in Munich during Oktoberfest and I have been following your blog on facebook for a while. Congratulations on you book!! I am super-impressed with this accomplishment of yours!! And I’m even more excited because I have a 5 month old and was JUST researching BLW last night and was getting frustrated with my lack of information! I’ll definitely be ordering your book!

Brianne says
I oved all veggies as a child and luckily, thanks to your help, my now 21month old does too! I was so thankful for your advice on BLW while I did it with my daughter and I am SO excited you now have a book! Congratulations!
gassmama says
My daughter is 6 months old and we have just started BLW, this would be perfect!

Rebecca says
Congrats! So exciting!
Meghan says
That’s amazing! Congrats. Can’t wait to read your book.
Helen says
This is very exciting! Congratulations. You inspired me to try baby-led weaning with my little one and it has been awesome. Her favorite food is sweet potatoes. When I was a little one my favorite food was probably my grandmother’s roast and potatoes…so yummy!
LaurenY says
Very cool and Congrats!!! I have always been a veggie lover and continue to be! I contribute that to a mom who wanted me to be a healthy eater and now want to pass that to my kiddos!!!
molly says
Stuffed Shells and a home made ice cream cake! That was my birthday request every year 🙂
kelly w. says
Growing up I loved Rhubarb out of the garden with a little bit of sugar. YUM. It still is a good snack!

one of the foods I most remember about childhood is cinnamon sugar toast, it is so homey and comforting. My mom now makes it for my boys and they think it’s awesome too, I hope they have good memories of it when they are adults too

Verna says
Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting! 😉
Nicole says
i was the crazy kid who requested liver and onions . . . not so much anymore!

Bethany says
First off – YAY!!!! I’m so, so happy for you and all of us mom’s on the verge of introducing solids! I can’t wait to read your book so i know how to go about this! My favorite food as a child was cheese. Pretty much any type of cheese 🙂 Congratulations again!
Whitney says
I am so excited about this! I am a Registered Dietitian and am currently working on my Master’s Research Project on….Baby-Led Weaning!! In fact, my initial research on this is what first led me to you blog and now I am a daily reader! You are absolutely right that there is a limited amount of research on this topic and I have been pouring over what little there is for the last 6 months. BUT, I have no kiddos, so I am very much looking forward to reading about your perspective on it!
The timing on this seems so ironic to me since I am smack dab in the middle of this topic. Congratulations on finishing your book!
Emily says
Congrats this is awesome!, i am a mom of two girls (2 yrs and 3 months) I pretty much stopped reading blogs after my second for the sake of time, but continue to read yours daily, you are very positive and relatable 😉 anyways I am so excited to read your book bc I just started researching this method over the weekend and really hope to do this with my youngest but feel overwhelmed right now. Will be sharing this with the other mothers I know of young babies!! Congrats and keep on sharing your life with us
melissa says
I always loved cheerios! still do!
Michelle B says
Congratulations! That’s great! I love reading your blog for ideas to feed my 8 month old (and other reasons too ;). We tried BLW at 6 months but she just wasn’t interested. She wasn’t even interested in purees! I blame teething. Finally, she opened up to purees and just recently became interested in whole green beans, bell pepper, and scrambled eggs. I can’t wait for her to try more! I’m so happy you’ve written a book because I found a lack of information on BLW as well. I hope it’s a huge success for you! 🙂
monica says
Congratulations! My favorite childhood food was ravioli ! The yucky canned variety that I wouldn’t touch today!
Laura says
Congrats!! Good for you!! I have no idea what my favorite childhood food was… spaghetti maybe?!
Layla says
My mom’s homemade spaghetti and meat sauce has always been my favorite.
Jennifer says
Congrats on the new book! My favorite childhood food was hotdogs :/ Good thing I out grew it!

Congrats on your book! I don’t even have a child but I love reading them, for someday, and for passing your tips along to my sister-in-law who has a baby 🙂
Lauren Brennan says
Brittany!!!!!!! That’s amazing!!!! I will certainly order a book and I’m sure that I will recommend it to all of my friends, as I have LOVED doing BLW as well. I can’t wait to read it. Congrats!
And seriously girlfriend, where do you find the time ?!!
Mitra Catalano says
What an incredible accomplishment! Congratulations! My favorite food as a child proves that I probably wasn’t part of baby led weaning since I loved soggy graham cracker and milk. It was my favorite treat.
katie says
I have a 5-month old so this is perfect timing 🙂 Congratulations!
Ally says
Congratulations!! My son is 3.5 months so I am starting to think about Baby-Led Weaning. My favorite food as a child (starting at 5) was sushi!
Meri says
Oh.my.gosh! How exciting! Congrats!! Looking forward to reading it!!!!
Amanda says
Congrats! I did baby led weaning with my son, but there was such a lack of information on it. I just found out I’m pregnant with my second so I will definitely buy this book.
My favorite childhood food was probably apples! We always had them in the house and it was the only thing we were allowed to snack on before bed, but it never got old.
Henriette says
Congrats on the book. I’m so excited to learn More about this subject. My favorite thing as a kid was strawberry and rhubarb porridge. We only had it in the summertime with fresh stuff from our yard.
Abby says
We’ve been doing baby led weaning with our nine-month-old, and it’s been fantastic! She eats stuffed grape leaves and lox and everything in between. When I was a kid, my favorite food in the world was my dad’s pancakes – and Zoe’s a big fan of those, too.
Nicole C says
My favourite was mashed banana:)
Cheree says
We ate almost all of our meals as a family. I still love going home and having my mom cook for me. One of my favorite meals was Taco Salad. Friday nights were for homemade pizza as a family, and Saturday mornings my dad always got up and made up pancakes. We were each expected to cook one meal each week – to learn valuable skills and give my mom a break. I always made spaghetti, a salad and green beans. Nothing mind blowing, but it gave me a basis for the skills I have today. I am a very adventurous eater and always try new recipes. Home was the foundation for how I cook and eat now.
katie says
My favorite food from childhood were the lemon cooler cookies found in the grocery store! My parents only bought them every once in a while so they were special treat.
Rachel says
Congratulations! What an exciting time for you. I’m due with my first in April and am devouring any and all books I can on tips for raising a healthy, happy little one. This is definitely on my “to-read” list!
Avery says
My favorite childhood food was a little strange, but I think it’s more because I have emotional ties to it! Lovingly referred to as “graham cracker cereal” we used to just break up graham crackers into a bowl and pour milk over. It was a special thing in our house and actually something I went back to as a pregnancy craving 🙂 Weird, but sentimental! Congrats on your book! Definitely gonna have to get my hands on one!
Kathleen Ojo @ My Ojos says
Congratulations! A book is a very big deal!!! I just did traditional purees with my daughter, but with my next I hope to take a BLW approach. I was a very adventurous eater as a kid – I think Chinese-style fried rice was my favorite!
Maggie says
Congratulations Brittany!!! This is wonderful and I can’t wait to get a copy!
Ashley says
I would have to say my mother’s homemade cannelloni. I loved watching her make the dough!
Ashley H says
My favorite food as a child was spaghetti. It still is one of my go to comfort foods.
Libby says
Congrats on the book, Brittany! I love that it is just in time for Finn to start BLW, and what a great giveaway! Favorite food from my childhood- I kinda hate to admit it, but velveeta mac and cheese from a box 🙂
Kim @ Racing Bananas says
It grosses me out now, but I used to love cheese sandwiches on wonder bread with american cheese slices!
Ashlee Brown says
Congratulations! My favorite foods from childhood were probably chicken nuggets and fries. Obviously, I’m trying to make better choices for my two young girls and come to your blog all of the time for tips and guidance!
Amy says
Wow, super exciting! I can’t believe you kept this a secret! This is perfect timing, since I’m 33 weeks pregnant with my first (a girl!) as a kid, I loved my moms pot roast and pesto tortellini!
Courtney says
Congratulations! My favorite foods from childhood were mac n’ cheese and applesauce 🙂
Jess says
I don’t know you at all, but I’m a long time reader so I feel like I do! I just wanted to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS on such an amazing accomplishment. We did baby led weaning with my now 16 month old, and it was through your blog that I first heard about it (before I was even pregnant I believe!). There are a couple of Facebook baby led weaning groups (if you’re not already aware), you should spam your book on there!! I feel like moms are always in search of more and more info on the topic. Anyways, congrats again, I hope you take some time to bask in this accomplishment. You are a published writer!! Amazing.
Jen W. says
You are AWESOME! My favorite childhood food was Kraft Mac n Cheese with tuna fish. Oh how I’ve grown up from that era.
heather @ fit mama real food says
I am so stinking excited for you!!! There was definitely a need for a guide like this. BLW is so amazing and I get so many compliments from people on how cool it is to see me feeding my kiddos this way (especially from older people who spoon fed). Major congrats on this book. Can’t wait to check it out!
Lauren Brennan says
Is anyone else having trouble with the Rafflecopter? I sign in and then it doesn’t do anything….?
Jennelle says
So exciting! We did BLW with our almost three year old, and are gearing up to do it again with the baby (she turns six months on Friday – sniffle!).
Jess says
My favourite food from my childhood was probably hot dogs haha. Don’t eat them anymore, but loved them as a kid. Super healthy eats 😉
Emily says
Congrats!! Fruit snacks!!….when my mom actually bought them 🙂
Emily K says
Congrats! How exciting! I can’t wait to read it!
Laura says
I can’t wait to read your book!! My favorite food was ARTICHOKES! 🙂 Still is!

Surprisingly my favorite childhood food was Brussels sprouts 😛 but I loved the shape & color, little tiny green spheres…ha!
Lyndsay K. says
Congrats on the book! We did BLW with my first and this would have been such a helpful resource! I’ll definitely be picking up a copy for baby #2 who is scheduled to arrive in August. My favorite childhood food was fish fry – fresh caught pickerol fried and sprinkled with fresh lemon juice. Delicious!
Kiersten says
That is so exciting! We just started BLW with our 6 month old and I’ve been thinking that there needs to be some sort of better guide to answer all my questions. So glad you’ve tackled this problem! Congrats!
Laury says
I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!! We are starting Jaxon on solids in a few weeks and I am definitely doing BLW this time. I didn’t with ella and have so many questions! I would love to win! Yay!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!
Glenda says

My favorite food as a kid was ribs and mom’s cauliflower with cheese sauce
Stacy says
I found your blog as I was searching for baby LED weaning. I was so excited and quickly have become hooked at reading your daily happenings. Can’t wait to read this
Book! My favorite as a child was BBQ chicken.
Holly says
We did not eat a lot of fast food growing up so, as embarrassing as it is for my current self to admit, I loved the regular tacos from taco bell. The ones with just a shell, mystery meat, shredded lettuce and cheese. And hundreds of packs of hot sauce.
Catlin says
congrats!! so exciting!!
My fav childhood food was mac and cheese 🙂
Sara says
Butternut squash soup was (and still is) a favorite of mine! My Mom’s recipe is by far the best… 😉
Brittney Conine says
Chicken salad!! Then and now – still my favorite!!
Julie says
I loved grilled cheese!
Ashley Pelletier says
Congratulations, Brittany!
My favorite childhood food was homemade tempura vegetables my mom would make. She would bread them and bake them and we would dip them in homemade marinara and devour them! We thought they were a treat, but they were healthy and delicious!
Jessica @Myhealthypassion.com says

Meghan says
Favorite food as a kid was (and pretty much still is) apples with peanut butter 🙂
I was also into the BLW with my first daughter but did not dive in as fully as I wished I had! I credit our even slightly modified technique to her great eating habits. Now, as baby number 2 is on the way, I hope to be more confident in this method so I am SUPER excited to see this book. Congrats!!
Sara John says
Congratulations! What a huge accomplishment. Growing up I always requested crab legs. I thought they were so much fun. Little did I know they weren’t the cheapest treat.

JoAnn says
My favorites were not healthy choice because that was not a focus in my home, but they were comfort foods, so- ice cream, biscuits and gravy, homemade french fries (we did not eat out or fast food very often), and mac n cheese.
I cannot wait to get a copy of this book. Thanks for compiling this info.
Alyssa says
Congrats!!
Erica D says
I always loved tomato soup as a kid.
Jessie says
This is so exciting (and so much work…)! My favorite food as a kid was probably caesar salad or pasta with shrimp and veggies. My son (a month older than H) asked for tofu, spinach and corn for his 2nd birthday! We also did BLW (both kids- one is 2 mo older than K) and I contribute a lot of my sons’ adventurous eating to it.
Monica says
Wow! Congratulations on your book! Well done!!! 🙂
Lauren S says
As a kid I loved tomatoes, shepherds pie and my aunt’s goulash:)
Maria says
This is awesome! You’ve been blogging and being a mama to two girls AND writing a book – you do deserve some kind of beachy vacation this year 🙂
Congrats, friend!
Oh and my favorite childhood food was cucumbers. I know that’s crazy, but it was. I was a cucumber fiend. Also, bacon, because let’s be real here.
Allie A says
When my mom would come home from the grocery store, she would always leave a little red box of animal crackers hanging on my door handle. To this day, I still love animal crackers!

Kate says
Peaches were always my fave!
Erika says
I always loved tuna noodle casserole as a kid. Now I think it’s god-awful, but I used to request that every year on my birthday. Apparently my penchant for fancy foods started at an early age 😉 Congratulations on your new book! That’s so exciting and you deserve all the positive accolades you’re hopefully receiving.
Lisa says
So exciting! I ate almost anything as a child and would love for my children to as well.
Stephanie says
My favorite food was pizza as a child. I’ve learned many tricks to “health-ify” it over the years so I can still enjoy this treat on a regular basis!

I am so pumped about this book! I want to try BLW with my new son (6 weeks old) to see if it will make him a better eater when he is a preschooler like my older son is now (4 and not very adventurous in the food dept right now). My favorite food was and still is bacon; yesterday, today and tomorrow. 🙂
Rachel says
My favorite food was strawberries! Congrats on the book! I was just beginning to research baby led weaning for my 6 month old; I can’t wait to read your book!

Christina says
Such a huge accomplishment, Brittany! Looking forward to checking out your book!
Meghan says
I was a very plain water growing up plain PB or plain cheese sandwiches were the best!
Meghan says
I was a very plain eater growing up – plain PB or plain cheese sandwiches were the best!
Jessica N says
I was all about the pasta, and still am! I’m excited about this. My little man is 7 months old and I’ve been really curious about BLW since he seems to want my food and not purees. However, I’m terrified he will choke! Fingers crossed that we win!!!
Amanda Snow says
My favorite food was definitely mac and cheese. My mom made the most delicious homemade recipe and I still absolutely love it. Moderation… moderation. Congratulations!

Mac and cheese for sure!
Molly says
Pizza!

Karen H. says
My favorite food growing up was pizza with mushrooms, and as an adult it is still but now i also love bacon on it!
Kelli says
Strawberries!
Megan Garcia says
My favorite food from childhood was (and still is) ice cream. My parents said my first food was Cool Whip. I wish they knew about baby led weaning back then!

Exciting news! This is perfect timing for me as my second will turn 6 months in 3 weeks. My favorite food as a toddler was Cheerios, and when I was a little older, scrambled eggs.
Heather Parry says
Congratulations on your book! I just bought a copy and can’t wait to read it. My fave was definitely Kraft mac n cheese…I’ve come a long way since then!! I LOVE your blog and read every single day while I’m pumping, which is also the reason it’s my first time commenting 🙂
Susan says
What a great giveaway and congrats on the book! I’ve been reading your Munchkin Meals posts since the beginning, since my older son is about Hailey’s age. Now we have a 6 month old, who just started out on solids.
I have tons of favorite foods from my childhood. Mostly breads of some sort. Pretzels. The real Bavarian, crusty outside, soft inside, salted ones. Oh, wait. Wiener Schnitzel. I ate it all.the.time. And haven’t eaten it in years. Guess what I’m gonna put on the meal plan, ha!
Nicole says
Nice! This giveaway is amazing for moms like me:>
Beth says
Congratulations! What a great accomplishment! My favorite food as a kid was probably fresh tomatoes. Still one of my favorites!
Anna E. says

Jen Clark says
How exciting!!! What a wonderful resource to all parents!

Sara says
My grandma’s mac & cheese!
Shannon says
PB&J was my all time favorite.

Ann says
Spaghetti and meatballs!
Kathryn F. says
My favorite food as a child was (sadly) Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Luckily I was raised by parents who provided nutritious healthy food so getting Kraft Mac n cheese was a very rare treat indeed. I still prefer it to this day over the homemade variety. Now that I am a mother I buy the annie’s variety and like it even better!
Laura @FitMamaLove says
Congrats how exciting! I can’t believe you stayed quiet about it until it’s release! That must have been challenging! I’m also a huge fan of baby-led weaning and did it with both my kids.
Kacie says
Congratulations on the book! That’s amazing! And now I will have something to show my mom since everytime I tell her I want to do babyled weaning she says, “now what is that again?”
Favorite food from my childhood was my mom’s chicken fingers…my brother and I asked for them alllll the time!
K Brady says
Congratulations on the book! What an accomplishment!
Caitlin says
dinners with my whole family, all 20-bajillion of us!! So fun, so loud!! 🙂
Congrats on the book, so exciting!!!
Kristi says
congrats!!! my childhood fav was spaghetti 🙂
Kristin P says
Congrats! That’s so amazing! I wish this was out 6 months ago when we started our BLW journey. I’ll have to make sure I have it next time around 🙂 I can’t really remember my favorite childhood food – probably cheese or donuts. So healthy.
Jennifer says
I loved Mac n cheese!
Erin says
I loved Mac n cheese and oranges! I am so excited to get your book. I’m having my second baby in May and I am very curious about baby led weaning. We did purees with my son, and he did so well with all different varieties, but now that he is a toddler he is becoming so picky!
Shari says
Congratulations on your book baby!! 🙂
Amy says
Congrats, that is great!
Sara says
I am a strong proponent of REAL food for kids of all ages and I think it is why my 4 kids aren’t picky eaters. Congrats on your book!
Kristen says
I LOVED mac n cheese as a kid. I would love these to give to my brother for my brand new little niece!
Elisa Johnson says
Congratulations! My son is 5.5 months old and we are just starting our journey into solid foods. I’m going to do BLW with some purees thrown in too. Just like with cloth/disposable diapers I do a little of both! I am a very whole foods based healthy vegan right now but I shudder to recall my growing up years full of lots of sugar, processed foods, and very few vegetables. My mom’s manicotti was my favorite up until I went vegan 6.5 years ago. But now I don’t miss anything animal based. I can veganize foods like a champ so they taste fantastic. Many congrats again! Is your book vegan friendly? In other words would it be worth having since I’m assuming you spend time discussing animal products?
Marion says
my favorite food was egg sandwiches that my mom used to make. Congrats on your book = can’t wait to check it out!
Emily says
how exciting!!! I would love to know more about how your book deal came to be!
When I was a baby, my mom tells me my favorite food was green beans.
Amy M says
My favorite food was runny eggs with toast for dunking!
Paj says
congrats!
strawberries were always a fave!
Hallie@ChasingHallie says
Congrats! That is so awesome that you wrote a book!
Your first posts on the topic led me to do Baby led weaning with Molly and we LOVED it too! And I was in the same boat…not much real information on the topic. So awesome that you stepped in and wrote a book on it.
My favorite food as a kid was mashed potatoes. And I still love them!
Jessica says
Such a big accomplishment! Congratulations! I would love to do baby led weaning when I have a second child. Missed the boat with my 3 year old (maybe that is why she is such a picky eater)!
Samantha Mayes says
Congrats! I don’t even know if I could narrow done one food- but I would love to win this giveaway!
Anna Neumeier says
Congrats on the book! I can’t wait to check it out for the newest addition to our family. My favorite food as a kid (and one of my favorites still today) are pasties. They are very popular in Upper Michigan and were a traditional meal for Cornish miners (and yes, it is ridiculous that I have learned so much about their history). Not extremely healthy, but delicious!
Abby Buetow says
This is awesome! I’ll definitely be buying this book. We didn’t try baby led weaning with our first, who is now 2.5, and he hated all of the purees. He’s now a semi-picky eater. We’re having our second in a few months and will be going the BLW route this time around. My mom bakes a lot so, growing up, my favorites were always her homemade treats! =)
tessa says
spaghetti! i also have a 3 year old and a 7 month old, and i love blw. there really aren’t any great resources out there for it, nice work on the book!
Amber says
How exciting! I am looking forward to reading this. Didn’t do this much with #1, but looking forward to trying it with our second who’s arriving this summer.
April says
PB honey toast!
Emily Luellwitz says
My favorite food as a kid was jam! Can’t wait to read the book! I want to try baby-led weaning with my son in a couple months.
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries says
You’re amazing! Congratulations, Brittany!! 🙂
My favorite food from my childhood? Hmmm. Probably lasagna!
ErikaMC says
Oh my gosh! That’s awesome. Congratulations! I wish this book had been around 3 years ago – I was so overwhelmed when it came to feeding our son and there is so much information out there telling you different things but never really telling me what I was wanting to know. I hope to soon have another baby that I can use this approach on.
My favorite thing from childhood was probably cold hot dogs 🙂 I can’t even eat hot hot dogs now!
Ibu says
I honestly can not think of a favorite food as a kid. I was just happy to have food anytime we do.
Danica @ It's Progression says
Oh my gosh, Brittany!!! This is incredible! What a perfect fit for you – I would trust your opinion about all of this 100%. While I currently know very little about it, baby-led weaning is certainly the path we want to go down with our baby. Congratulations!!!
to answer your question…one favorite food from my childhood was raspberries from my grandma’s garden.
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
My favorite food growing up (and probably still is) was carrots!! I could not get enough!

Wanda W says
Congrats!! This book is a great idea!!
Stefanie says
Oh that’s so AWESOME! Congrats on being a published author!! 🙂
Favorite food as a kid was home grown tomatoes. My parents always had a big garden out back and I’d sneak out there and pick tomatoes fresh off the vine and eat them where I stood. I still love to eat them like that. 😉
Jessica Waite says
This is my first time commenting, but I’ve been reading your blog for about 9 months. I’ve always enjoyed reading about your munchkin meals, and as my son is almost 7 months old, I would love your new book! I am hoping to do baby led weaning. Congratulations on your book – it must have been so hard not to spill the beans long before this!!
Jessica Waite says
I forgot to share a favorite childhood food… Creamed asparagus on toast! We had almost an acre of asparagus that we harvested each spring to sell by the road. Of course there was always plenty for us to eat, too 🙂
Elizabeth says
Congrats!!! My favorite childhood food was all of my granny’s cuban cooking but I still love rice with a suing side up egg.
Brittany Greer says
This is so exciting!! Congrats Brittany!!
Kim says
We love BLW. As a kid I loved my minds mashed potatoes and gravy.

Abby says
Congrats, Brittany! I remember really loving enchiladas as a child. I think it was my first time trying something spicy, which I am all about now. 🙂
Lindsey says
I wouldn’t say that it was my favorite, but I hated broccoli as a kid and I always remember my mom making cauliflower just for me on the days she would make my brother broccoli.
Andrea Smith says
Mac and cheese has Always been a favorite! Can’t wait to read your book! Congrats
Irina S. says
My favorite childhood food would probably be fish soup or fried chicken.
Kelli H (Made in Sonoma) says
Congrats Brittany! I have to say, when I have a baby of my own I’ll definitely use this book. The method sounds perfect. My favorite food as a kid was probably mac and cheese. I don’t remember exactly, but I also loved fresh mini octopus tentacles, mussels, and clams my dad would cook for his seafood linguine.
Julie says
My favorite food/meal from childhood… and still might be today… is a dish my mom made called chicken a la king. Sure, stores sell canned version of this, but the real thing is soooo much better!
Christina says
WOW congrat’s!!! That is great! I’m always trying to figure out if I’m giving too much or too little to my almost 10 month old and it drives me nuts! There really isn’t anything online besides feed your baby what you’re eating. So I’m glad you’ve written something that’s helpful!
Tara says
Congratulations on the book! It looks amazing, and I can’t wait to read it. I think my all-time favorite food was always mashed potatoes growing up.
Tressie says
Congratulations! I loved spaghetti as a child. Any short of pasta dish actually!
Em @ Love A Latte says

my favorite food growing up was grilled tuna melts!
Annette says
Brittany, this is awesome! I am so excited for you and can’t wait to read it. We have been doing much more baby-led weaning this time around with Vivi, and it’s going really well. So much easier than feeding purees! Also, that’s a pretty awesome booster seat! I’ll be keeping my eyes out for that when we need another one. Good luck with the book!
-Annette
Annette says
And also, my favorite food as a baby (and adult) is Mac and cheese
Jeanna Romer says

Still don’t know much about it but love the idea so would love to read your book. Congrats by the way!! What a huge and exciting accomplishment!
Ashley M. says
Anything sour. My mom said I used to such on lemons and pickles.

Congratulations on your book!! What an amazing accomplishment. You are definitely supermom in my eyes. I don’t know how you do it with two little ones. Great job.

Congrats to you Brittany, 1000x over!
Mary says
Congratulations! So many people will benefit from your work!

As a kid I always loved scrambled eggs with ketchup, now I can’t stand the thought of that combination! I have a 4 month old and feel so inspired to try baby led weaning, thanks for lighting the fire. I absolutely cannot wait to read your book!

YAY! You were reading my mind today. My daughter turns 6 months next week and I want to do BLW with her. Earlier today I spent some time trying to google more info about how to start BLW. I am so excited, I can’t wait to read your book and start the food journey with my little girl. Thank you!
Paije says
Congrats!! This is amazing. I did baby led weaning with my daughter (3) and am doing it again with my son (7 1/2 months) but find myself googling like crazy this time! I am definitely looking forward to reading your book!
My favourite food from my childhood is definitely pistachio pudding!
Lisa O says
You are such an amazing lady! And good on your husband for telling you to go out and get it!
My favourite food as a little one was always tacos, I loved messy and fun food!
Great timing for your book, for me as my little guy is nearly 5 months and hankering for some food (unlike his big sister who couldn’t care less about food still… unless it’s ice cream or my plate).
Well done! xx
Erica Pierce says
This is wonderful! I plan on doing this with my now 5 month old daughter when the time comes. My favorite childhood food was salads. I know crazy, guess I was meant to be a dietitian : )
Regina says
Congratulations! How impressive. Ritz pb mini cracker sandwiches were my all time childhood fave
Carleen says
We did baby led with my daughter and will be starting in a couple months with my son. My favorite food growing up was strawberries out of my grandpa’s garden!

Congrats
Amanda L says
My favorite food was Honey Nut Cheerios – and i still love them although i save them for “special” occasions (god that sounds so lame). You have been my main source of info for BLW as it is (my son is a month younger than Kaitlyn) so i LOVE LOVE LOVE that you are doing this! Congrats and THANK YOU!
cl says
congrats 🙂 nice accomplishment!
Jessica says
As a kid, I loved pizza. My 17-month-old now considers it a fave, too!
Amanda N says
My favorite was always cheese! (And still is) I would have it with and on everything. I also loved sour cream….I would dip everything in it!
I tried to do baby led weaning with my little one, but then got into puree’s and just found them easier of course because I could cook/puree everything in one big batch instead of having to slice and dice and peel etc. I kind of regret it now as she is very picky at 19 months and barely eats veggies! I have #2 on the way in April and plan to do more of baby led weaning approach.
Kim says
Congratulations! I am so excited for this book. My daughter just turned 6 months and I am looking to try baby-led weaning a bit more with my second. My first was all purees, and I’m hoping to do more of a combo with #2! Favorite childhood food was carrots. Wish my almost 3 year old would eat them!!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
You are so stinking awesome! I’m definitely going to buy it for my next go round!
Keely says
So exciting – I can’t wait to read the book! I loved, and still love, anything with peanut butter as a child.
Shana says
Cheese, I always loved cheese!
Stacy says
Congrats Brittany! I loved anything my mom made – especially macaroni and cheese and spaghetti!
Suzanne says
I loved my mom’s split pea soup. She always made cornbread to go along with it! yum!
Christina says
My favorite childhood meal was chicken, mashed potatoes and corn, not very exciting. My mom hated cooking and both of my parents worked full time, so dinner prep had to be fast. I enjoy cooking, but still find it isn’t intuitive for me. Thanks for sharing all of your fab recipes and for inspiring me to eat healthier and cook healthier for my kids.
Danielle says
What an accomplishment! Congrats and I am looking forward to checking it out and trying BLW with my youngest.
Annika says
Perfect timing–in 3 short months we’ll be venturing into baby led weaning–can’t wait to read your book!
Annika says
Forgot to add–my fav food as a child was kiwi!
ree says
When I was a kid, I LOVED frozen pizza with an extra slice of velveeta melted on top.
Claire says
I know I loved chicken roll ups as a child. Strawberries were also a favorite as were PBJ sammies. I have a 4 month old and plan to make my own food but the baby led weaning interests me. Might be difficult with day care but I guess we could do it at home.
Lindsay Campbell says
Congrats!!! Chicken and dumplings was my favorite. 🙂
Sarah Roberts says
Love this! My favorite foods we’re fruit. No suprise, my husband and I joke fairly frequently that our daughter is “part fruit bat”.
Tara M says
I loved hotdogs as a kid! Especially cut up in mac and cheese!
Sarah says
I loved eating outside on my back deck, usually hamburgers and hot dogs.
Heidi says
Congratulations! What an accomplishment 🙂 I was too nervous to try baby led weaning with my son, but I might have the confidence to try when the next kid comes along. I’ll definitely have to get your book. I remember loving cheese sandwiches when I was a kid. Just American cheese, mayonnaise, and white bread 😛
Pam S @ Nuts for Nutrition says

Congratulations! You’re right, this book has been missing from BLW material! Can’t wait to read it before we start solids with our 3 month old in a few months.
As a kid, I ate just about everything. My favourite was probably family pizza night.
jamie says
Congrats on your book! Graham crackers & JIF peanut butter was my favorite combo when i was little. Unfortunately i have since developed a wheat allergy & my daughter is allergic to peanuts, so we keep neither in the house. But i will always have the memory of eating my favorite foods on our front porch!
Lyndsey G says
Most definite spaghetti!!

Lauren says
Ahhh Brittany I am thrilled for you! Congratulations! I can’t wait to read your book. We love blw over here too and I’m excited to be able to pass along your book to friends and fam who ask about it. As a child, I requested stuffed manicotti for bday dinner. 🙂

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Coming up on 4 months so I’m looking to introduce some solids at 6 months…
Sarah says
My favorite food was always a PB & J! Thankfully, my 3 yr old loves them too! We have a 6 month old and I’m just starting BLW with him. So far, so good – you put something in front of him, it goes right in his mouth! Perfect timing with your book – I’m looking forward to reading it.

Heather says
Oh my goodness Brittany, I’m so excited for you! Congratulations! I will be purchasing this book to help with my second one b/c I couldn’t find all of the info I needed when Elizabeth was going through the switching to solids phase.
My favorite food when I was little was green beans!
Kristen says
Congratulations!
Linz @ Itz Linz says
favorite childhood food? probably mint chocolate chip ice cream. seriously, i ate it almost daily.
Lynsi says
Spaghetti was definitely a childhood favorite. My mom has many pictures of me eating it as well as “wearing” it!
Melissa says
ooh! We’re knee-deep in BLW with my 7 month old and this book would be a great help for me (and her daycare!) I loved my mom’s lasagna growing up – in fact, just thinking about it has me drooling right now!
Ashley says
Congrats on the book! Wish it was around when my babies were starting solids.
My favorite food was fruit and yogurt.
Alaina says
I would love a copy of this! I have an almost 11 month old son and was so afraid to do BLW when he started solids. This book would prep me for the next one!
Britteny says
excited about your book!

Whenever I go back home, and my mom asks what I want for dinner, I always request turkey and mashed potatoes! She really makes the best Thanksgiving type dinner 🙂

Lasagna!
