Ready to Eat: Foods for Your Baby to Pick Up, Explore & Eat! Book

Ready to Eat: Foods for Your Baby to Pick Up, Explore & Eat! is our newest book, and we can't wait for you to see it!

This book encourages parents and caregivers to let their baby take the lead and learn how to safely eat a variety of healthy foods. It builds upon the concepts you love in our original Finger Foods book by providing up-to-date information on:

• Signs of readiness for self-feeding in 6 to 8 month old infants.
• Messages that encourage responsive feeding, including safe foods for self feeding at 6 to 8 months.
• Focus on skills needed such as palmar grasp and pincer grasp, in addition to the age range when these skills tend to develop.
• Encouragement of family meals and use of family’s foods.
• Aligns with health and nutrition priorities for this age group that are outlined in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025 by providing practical and family-friendly tips for introducing allergenic foods, offering iron-rich foods, & limiting added sugars and sodium.

Responsive feeding, baby led feeding and baby led weaning concepts are discussed in combination with traditional spoon and finger feeding.
