Born to Eat

Meer over het boek

You don’t need to prepare separate meals or blend everything for your baby to ensure healthy growth. With some patience and skill, you can adapt nearly any meal to be baby-friendly. A little planning allows the whole family to eat better together. Historically, humans thrived without the concept of “baby food,” which only emerged in the mid-nineteenth century. The human race has largely relied on whole foods, but recent decades have seen an overcomplication of eating due to marketing and dieting culture, leading to chronic dieting, diseases, and confusion about nutrition. Eating is a natural skill that has been unnecessarily complicated. Babies, like adults, are born to eat, and when they show readiness for solids, they can enjoy the same foods as the rest of the family, becoming healthy eaters in the process. By respecting their self-regulation and focusing on whole foods, we can nurture healthier families. This approach, known as baby-led weaning, is embraced in many countries outside the U.S. With guidance from nutritionists and wellness experts, you can introduce your infant to nutritious and delicious foods early on.
