Discover the Top 10 Bestselling Nutritional and Health Books for Babies

For many mothers who have experienced raising babies, the Japanese-style Weaning Book is not unfamiliar. It has been widely shared on social media, but mostly through word of mouth without any comprehensive written guide.

This book serves as an excellent handbook on easy-to-make recipes that anyone can prepare in a short time. It's 'simple' and 'easy' yet rich and creative. Moreover, 'Japanese-style Weaning' meticulously addresses foods to consider when a child is sick, has food allergies, and provides allergy-friendly recipes to keep weaning meals exciting.

The Japanese-style weaning book will energize parents with the nutrition that breast milk and formula may lack. Initially, we introduce complementary feeding while breastfeeding and formula feeding, but during the weaning stage, if we think about offering a well-balanced nutritional menu for the child, it will promote their growth and also educate them about eating habits. However, meal preparation is a daily task, so don't let yourself feel too pressured. If you feel that 'maintaining daily tasks is difficult,' you can adjust for a day or two, or even 2-3 days will be fine.

During medical examinations, Dr. Hải encounters many cases of malnourished and undernourished children, not because their families lack resources, but because they have too many. Dr. Hải also encounters cases where children appear chubby, yet parents bring them for checkups because they perceive their child as not gaining weight and assume they're picky eaters. However, picky eating is the most common issue. The question of what and how to feed a child has never caused parents so much worry.

That's why Dr. Hải wrote this book Mother's Weaning Notebook with the hope of addressing most of the concerns mothers have when introducing complementary feeding. The book is presented in a concise Q&A format, condensed for mothers to grasp basic knowledge about nutrition for infants during the weaning period, addressing questions about a child's eating habits, digestion, caring for meals when a child is ill, and scientifically preparing and storing food.

If you're accustomed to the image of mothers spoon-feeding pureed food into their baby's mouth until they swallow, then BLW will present a completely different picture. With the Baby Led Weaning - Guided Baby Feeding Method, there's no spoon-feeding or pureeing involved. Instead, parents provide appropriately shaped and sized foods for the baby to pick up and feed themselves using their fingers, allowing them to choose their food, decide how much to eat, and at what pace. Many mothers may worry that their baby might choke while eating this way.

In reality, babies, like adults, are more likely to choke or gag when someone else is feeding them because fundamentally, that's a passive eating style - the baby has no control over the amount of food being put in. When babies feed themselves, they recognize that they're eating and will control their tongue, jaw, lips, and throat appropriately. If the food is too large, they will spit it out. Of course, initially, some gagging may occur. But gagging is simply a natural reaction when the baby doesn't accept the food. After a few episodes of gagging, the baby will develop the awareness and skills to know how much to eat and how to avoid gagging. Failure is a mother's success.

Children's eating habits are a top concern for parents as they directly impact their development, overall nutritional quality, and health status. Many families find it difficult to choose food during the weaning period, balancing their child's digestive ability, nutritional needs, and preferences. However, many parents are unaware that choosing the right time to supplement the same ingredient can either become a child's 'bad companion' instead of advancing together as 'good companions'.

To assist parents in navigating this journey and to help children grow quickly, enjoy eating, and avoid boredom with meals, based on the needs and developmental characteristics of each stage of the child, 'Pressure-Free Weaning' provides specific meal plans and schedules for each week of weaning. In each menu, the author - Dr. Luu Truong Vy - also analyzes the nutritional values of the food and its benefits for the child's development. With his expertise, the author also elaborates on each issue throughout the weaning process for first-time parents.

Clean and Green Weaning presents knowledge about nutrition, combining traditional and modern methods, and offers a range of nutritious and delicious plant-based recipes and sample menus for parents to prepare for their baby's weaning. The author does not advocate for a strict or extreme diet but rather aims to share scientific knowledge and parenting experience.

Parents can refer to and apply this for their baby to eat 100% plant-based, or they can opt for a plant-rich diet (alternating some meals during the week). Even if parents still want their child to consume animal products, it's perfectly fine; just add nutritious plant-based foods to their current diet (such as grains, legumes, seeds, etc.). Consider this as an experiential journey for your child to explore nutritious and delicious first foods.
