Book Description
Baby led weaning is choosing to feed your baby real, whole foods rather than pureeing food into traditional baby food. I learned about it when my daughter was 4 months old and it was the first time I'd ever heard of such a feeding style.It freaked me out, but it also intrigued me. How could she possibly eat a whole pear without choking? I'd only ever seen parents spoon-feeding their babies from jars or homemade pureed steamed vegetables. Could it possibly be safe to let her pick up her own food and eat as much as she wanted?But it struck a chord with me. I believe in real, whole vegan food and its power to transform a human. I wanted my child to love and respect healthy food without having an emotional attachment to it that caused her to overeat as an adult. It makes so much more sense for her to decide for herself how much to eat, rather than me randomly deciding she's done.It also turns out people have been feeding their children this way since time eternal. It's actually more of a modern tradition to puree everything before giving it to a baby learning to eat.After I read more about it, I dove right in. I found a few great books and websites about baby led feeding (a better term in my opinion as it really has nothing to do with actual weaning off breastmilk,) but I could not find much about people feeding just plant foods. I had to really research to make sure I gave her everything she needed and was balancing her diet well.There was no book on Baby Led Weaning for Vegans, but now there is. This has 60 completely vegan recipes that you can serve to any age person, from 6 months on.These are healthy recipes we use all the time and love and all can be whipped up in under an hour, from snacks and salads and soups to beans and patties and whole grain dishes.Some of our favorites are PB&J smoothies, fettucine alfredo with shiitake bacon, and oozy vegan mac-n-cheese. Enjoy!

Book Description
"Ditch the purees and feed your baby real food. Do you want children who choose to eat their kale, quinoa, lentils, and sweet potatoes without any manipulation or coercion? You never have to learn how to hide vegetables in your kid's food, make a different meal for your children, or worry about whether your child is getting enough nutrients. Baby led weaning helps you avoid mealtime power struggles by inviting your baby to participate in family meals from the time they are old enough to eat solids. Learn my best tips for safety measures, appropriate food sizes for each age, and how we handle eating together as a family."--

Book Description
You know the amazing results veganism can produce by following the lifestyle yourself, or maybe you've seen the positive changes in one of your friends. You probably can't wait to share the benefits of veganism with your baby. Well, you're in luck! Veganism is just as healthy for babies as it is for adults. In fact, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics have deemed a plant-based diet is healthy at any age, including throughout infancy. However, just like you'd wean your baby with any other diet, you'll need to be very strict with what you feed your baby to ensure he/she is in perfect health.You need to be careful not to exclude nutrients that are only found in certain foods; in particular, you should try to incorporate foods with vitamin D, calcium and vitamin B12 as these nutrients are primarily only found in animal foods, just like with any diet. It will take patience, trial and error to perfect. The goal of this book is to highlight the most healthy and nutritious recipes for your baby, from their first purée to their first vegan burrito, when and how to introduce fruits, veggies and other harder to ingest foods and how to make delectable delights that even the pickiest eaters will enjoy.
