I’m so excited to announce the launch of my very first parenting book. The book is now available for pre-orders (more details below).

I first came up with the idea for this book after struggling with introducing first foods to my three kids. While some kids are naturally eager eaters, others (like mine) were not. I dove into the literature and studies, and was surprised to find that there is no research to back up feeding babies purees for months on end. In fact, the opposite is true. While purees have their place, using them exclusively for too long can lead to picky eating and a host of other problems.

Baby Self-Feeding: Solid Food Solutions to Create Lifelong, Healthy Eating Habits is a labor of love. Along with my amazing co-author, pediatric feeding specialist Melanie Potock, M.A., CCC-SLP, I researched hundreds of studies and popular feeding methods to determine the best way to introduce first foods to your child and set your baby up for a lifetime of healthy, adventurous eating.

Baby Self-Feeding offers practical solutions and step-by-step ways to transition your baby to early solid foods and smart-start purees. Pre-orders are now available. Order your copy before June 10 and send me a note at: nancy at justthefactsbaby dot com and you’ll be entered to win an ez-pz happy mat – one of the fabulous products we promote in the book.
