Led by a multidisciplinary team of Board-certified paediatric feeding professionals, Solid Starts has debunked the myth that ‘baby food’ is necessary and transformed the way that millions of parents around the world feed their babies. Now, with their debut book, you can follow their research-backed advice to wean your baby on the food that you eat - with some simple safety modifications.
