Very useful - By: Moop, 25 Sep 2008 
Like many people who have not read her books, I approached a Gina Ford book with caution - but the things said about her writing are not borne out by this book. I found it very useful as a good guide to when & how to introduce solids. The recipes are very quick & easy & my baby likes them. As with any advice book you need to apply your own common sense & not get hung up on following it to the letter. I had started weaning my baby & was all at sea with when to give her food, how much etc & this book has set me straight. I would definitely recommend it.
So helpful - By: Flappy Touchy Baby Books, 08 Sep 2008 
This book was so helpful for something that should be so easy. It helped an awful lot that my daughter was on her routines anyway, & I don't think it really accommodated the fact that people might not be, but apart from that, it was so helpful. Just things like recipes, & meal plans, & what foods when. The case studies were also interesting & would be helpful, I think. They were examples of children with various problems when it came to eating, & what Gina Ford did to help rectify it. The only other thing I can think of, is the lack of portion size examples.
inflexible approach - did not work for us - By: SmallThings, 25 Aug 2008 
I found the book not useful at all. Gina Ford's approach is totally inflexible & rigid.
And what do you do if the baby refuses the solids as my baby did? This book does not offer any advise & help with a baby refusing solids

Weaning - Gina Ford - By: Vanessa Hurley, 18 Aug 2008 This book is excellent & gives clear guidance to Mums on what to do when weaning your baby. As a first time Mum, this book answered loads of my questions from what consistency purées should be to what quantities you should try with your baby. I used the very precise timetable & meal planners as a guide & adapted it to meet the needs of my baby.
Excellent Guide for All the Family - By: Elizabeth O'donnell, 17 Jun 2008 This book has been an absolute revelation. Easy step by step guides as to introduce various foods & fantastic recipes that can be adapted for the whole family.Also a very handy A - Z index of foods, & great case studies for any hiccups that can happen. My Little boy (however not so little thanks to this book)eats everything putin front of him & enjoys a fantastic, healthy, varied diet...in fact a lot better diet than his parents. For a family who are worried about weaning would certainly recommend this as their guide. But as with all of Gina's books, should be used as a GUIDE. That way you cant go wrong.
