A Time to Wean is a picture book for babies and toddlers who are weaning from nursing. Follow favorite animals as they grow, discover new things, and nurse less. All with the comfort and reassurance that love and hugs from mama never change. "When little piglet is first born, mama pig nurses him snug and warm. As piglet grows he nurses less, and discovers new things he likes best. Corn to munch, muddy fun, hugs from mama when day is done." And so it goes that even our favorite animals have a time to wean. Beautiful illustrations help make this a treasured book long after weaning, and a welcome book for moms in the process of weaning their little ones.

What if you could skip the tiny jars and pouches of bland baby food in favor of a more natural, flavor-filled, and family-friendly transition to solid foods? Baby-led feeding (also known as baby-led weaning) is just that. Feeding your baby a variety of healthy, wholesome solid foods, rather than relying solely on purees, is thought to promote motor skills and establish lifelong healthy eating habits. Here, author and food editor at Parents magazine Jenna Helwig gives an easy-to-follow introduction to this popular new method. With more than 100 ideas and recipes, this bright, photo-driven book includes chapters on the benefits of this approach, when and how to get started, essential safety and nutrition guidelines, frequently asked questions, basic fruit and vegetable prep, more complex finger foods, and family meals. All recipes have been reviewed by a registered dietitian and include nutrition information to ensure a healthy mealtime.
