Baby-led Weaning DVDs

There are now three DVDs on baby-led weaning. The original DVD, Baby-led Weaning, is a fact-based DVD that explains what BLW is and why it makes sense. It shows how to prepare food so that babies can handle it and how to make sure they are safe while eating. It explains what to expect in terms of mess and how to prepare for this, as well as how to know when to reduce milk feeds.

The second DVD, Discovering Baby-led Weaning, explores BLW through the experiences of parents who have tried it. They tell us why they decided to do it, what it has given them and their baby, and how they have coped with explaining it to others.

Both these DVDs show just how clever babies are, how quickly they learn – and how much fun eating with them can be. However, the information provided is complementary rather than repetitive. So, while Discovering Baby-led Weaning will probably be most useful for parents to own, health professionals who wish to learn about BLW so that they can have meaningful discussions with parents about it would do well to purchase both these titles.

The third DVD, Baby-led Weaning: The First Six Months, follows the progress of baby Oscar as he shares meals with his family. It's a fun and informative look at BLW through the eyes of one mum and dad.
