When adults talk about weaning themselves off sugary foods or caffeinated drinks, the idea is that by gradually reducing the consumption of whatever substance they’re hooked on, they can eventually eliminate it from their lives.

It's broken down into age sections which is great but it hasn't got many family meals in it, meaning it is pretty much just for baby. If you're a new parent or parent-to-be, chances are, you're feeling pretty overwhelmed at the sheer amount of information there is about learning to care for your child in the best way possible. Around seven months old may be a good time to start introducing your little one to larger finger foods.This month on the TalkMum Book Club we are serving up a helping hand for parents with a review of the new Joe Wicks weaning handbook, Wean in 15. Well, 'starting at around six months helps to ensure that your baby is developmentally ready for solids and can mean they are more efficient at chewing, swallowing and self-feeding and can cope with a variety of textures more quickly too', shares Wicks. The accurate measurements provided make it easier to create the exact meal, even if this is a little more time consuming than the methods in other books. The recipes really do work and we've all sat down to eat plenty of these together as a whole family.

Try other sweeter veggies as part of your baby's weaning journey, alongside a wide variety of food combinations - including proteins, carbohydrates and fruits', advises Wicks. He is the author of Lean in 15 - The Shift Plan, Lean in 15 - The Shape Plan, Lean in 15 - The Sustain Plan, The Fat-Loss Plan, Cooking for Family and Friends, Joe's 30-Minute Meals, Veggie Lean in 15, Wean in 15 and 30 Day Kick Start Plan.If you can answer 'yes' to two or more of the following, chances are, you may be ready to start the weaning process.

He launched a Wean in 15 Instagram account back in February 2019 followed by a podcast by the same name in earlier this month and feels every parent's pain when it comes to knowing what and when to feed your baby.

The general consensus is to start introducing a few tastes of solid foods into your baby's meals, moving away from solely breast milk. Both Apple and Google state that they ensure that only users who have actually downloaded the app can submit a review.
