IN THIS EASY-TO-NAVIGATE unconventional baby weaning guidebook, Margo explains how to safely include fruits, vegetables, raw leaves and flowers of edible 'wild' and garden plants, into the meals and diets of babies, toddlers, breastfeeding mothers and even the whole family; with great healing benefits. There are also tips for herbal remedies to improve and increase milk flow & production for breastfeeding mothers (galactogogues).For new parents it can be overwhelming to figure out what's the best for baby, especially when it comes to starting solids and cooking for their little one. Margo believes that a happy and healthy start with a clean and pure diet sets your baby up for the future and will help you succeed in raising happy healthy kids. In the world today, words and phrases such as food intolerance, auto immune disease, allergy, food allergen, child epilepsy are frequently used and not so shocking anymore: which is why knowledge about safe foods is crucial. What if you could raise a child who is happy to eat most fruits/vegetables instead of being a picky eater? A happy eater, in fact! This book unlocks that possibility for you - get knowledge and learn tips regarding when and how to get started, basic healthy baby food preparation, essential health and safety. Make your weaning journey easy, smooth, enjoyable and a success. Understand what baby led weaning means, why you may have a 'gassy baby', make baby purees etc. The uniqueness of this uber-healthy, holistic, and natural food advice lies in an additional 20+ unusual combinations of fruit/veg, including leaves and flowers from healing 'wild edible’ plants. On top of 90+ ideas for baby food blends, organic finger foods, healthy treats, snacks, drinks, dehydrated, fermented, and sprouted foods. You will help your baby develop an adventurous palate as well as a healthy relationship with food. Words from the author: This book is my sincere from the heart attempt to INSPIRE YOU. Growing your own food, sprouting and foraging on edible "weeds" as a new simple way of living a clean & empowered life, fuelling bodies on green superfoods rich in micronutrients, minerals, healing and anti-aging compounds. Especially important, while your new, spotlessly clean angelic baby human being is growing & developing its brain and all its other organs and body functions. Feeding on the best possible "matter", apart from love and sunlight, is the key to reaching one's best fullest potential. The same goes for babies as for the rest of us. When it comes to weaning, feel free to experiment and create your own homemade combinations. It is clear we are all in one way or another conditioned to prefer some foods and flavours. Trust your instincts, but keeping the above in mind, please do not assume just because you don’t like the taste of blended plants your baby won’t. Babies are pure, as close to nature as one can get, pure original raw simple flavours taste good to them. Gain confidence in recognising and retaining a more childlike interest in what nature has to offer around you & provide for your plate. Look at plants around you with your eyes & mind open.
