What British parent hasn't noticed, on visiting France, how well-behaved French children are compared to our own? Pamela Druckerman, who lives in Paris with three young children, has had years of observing her French friends and neighbours, and with wit and style, is ideally placed to teach us the basics of French parenting."

“On questions of how to live, the French never disappoint. . . . Maybe it all starts with childhood. That is the conclusion that readers may draw from Bringing Up Bébé.” —The Wall Street Journal “I’ve been a parent now for more than eight years, and—confession—I’ve never actually made it all the way through a parenting book. But I found Bringing Up Bébé to be irresistible.” —Slate The runaway New York Times bestseller that shows American parents the secrets behind France's amazingly well-behaved children, from the author of There Are No Grown-ups. When American journalist Pamela Druckerman had a baby in Paris, she didn't aspire to become a “French parent.” But she noticed that French children slept through the night by two or three months old. They ate braised leeks. They played by themselves while their parents sipped coffee. And yet French kids were still boisterous, curious, and creative. Why? How? With a notebook stashed in her diaper bag, Druckerman set out to investigate—and wound up sparking a national debate on parenting. Researched over three years and written in her warm, funny voice, Bringing Up Bébé is deeply wise, charmingly told, and destined to become a classic resource for American parents.

EXPERT REVIEWS: "An excellent resource for any parent who wants to make their child's first foods. An easy and informative manual to help make introducing solid foods a delicious and healthy start to a lifetime of good eating."--Dr. Blair J Guidera, MD, FAAP "A terrific resource for both new and experienced parents who want to encourage healthy eating from an early age."--Dr. Michelle Wong, MD, FACOG "This whole-foods-only prep book is the guide you seek whether you are a quietly curious, or passionately driven baby food "DIYer." If that idea makes you laugh/scream "No (@#)(%( way!" you're still likely to find yourself progress from cynically perusing this title, to planning your next grocery run. RealSmart Baby Food offers the well-designed, crisp, clear layout of the best "How-To" guides, with appeal for the novice and foodie alike. Barrangou comes across as a passionate educator, and has mastered a simplicity here that packs a punch. She has also created a three month schedule so varied and complete...bottom line is you don't have to figure anything out AT ALL. She's done it all for us! It's a safe and satisfying route to start feeding baby solids, free of assumptions and preservatives, loaded with useful little photos and information. Also pleasing is the absence of a cookbook writing tone that's trying too hard to be the new hip thing."--EcoParent Magazine "Mums Baby Magazine were really impressed with this clear and concise guide to creating baby food. We especially favoured the charts and guides which can be followed easily to produce daily and weekly feeding guides which offer children a wide range of flavours in an order specifically tailored towards infants...The RealSmart Baby Food book is well written and enables parents to gain the confidence and structure required to feed their children appropriately and healthily. We therefore give this book 9/10."--Mums Baby Magazine"
