Lots of different recipes for weaning. Baby is only 2 weeks old so not tried anything yet. Book/recipes look great for the money
by Lorna
Great book. I was totally lost with weaning and had no idea where to start but this book really helped us. I found it of the same quality as Joe’s usual work – good recipes, very enthusiastic and the passion for good food comes through. Really good sections on tips for weaning, routines, baby feeding in general and I found it has been written very balanced and respectfully of breast and bottle feeding (my son was combi fed so I really appreciated this).
Just to say though, if you’re looking for a book that’s filled with different twists on mashed potatoes and puréed carrots then this isn’t for you. The recipes aren’t stereotypical ‘kids menu’ style – the overriding theme in here is your kids don’t need to eat bland food – and focus on exposure and enjoyment of all different kinds of food. If this doesn’t sound up your street then either buy with an open mind or know that this probably isn’t the best book for you.

I bought this as I was curious to see what recipes Joe had come up with for babies. There are some interesting recipes and ideas, very Joe Wicks in style.
The book is fine – the advice is good, told from his family’s perspective and not at all preachy. Yes, his wife breastfed and he talks about it briefly (and why shouldn’the, if that’s what they did), but if anything, he bends over backwards to say “whatever works for you” throughout the book.
The recipes have no real thematic organisation. They are a bit random. And really for older babies. But still good.
However, if you’re new to weaning, this isnt the right book, in which case i recommend Rana Conway’s Weaning Made Easy or Charlotte Stirling Gallagher own book

This was only delivered today, so I will have to add an update later on once me and Smaller have taken on some of the recipes, but I felt compelled to write a review straight away because this is the most “friendly” weaning book I have read. Smaller is my second baby and I had an absolutely hellish weaning experience with my first. I read so many books tried so many methods and I still have an infuriatingly fussy toddler! I am determined to be chilled out this time and try something new, and my friend recommended Wean in 15 having started weaning a few weeks ago. In the last 2 hours I have read the first section of the book (60+ pages) and the first couple of stages recipes. I’ve not really been a follower of Joe’s Body Coach or the lockdown PE, but I really like the personal style of the writing which feels honest and his passion for nutrition really comes across.

Great recipes for the whole family

Nice easy book to use. I should really start using it more often
by Boschat
This book made me feel so confident about weaning my baby onto solids and there are so many reviews for different ages and covers breakfast, snacks and other meals too which includes family meals for when your little ones older! Once I was finished I gave it to my friend to borrow and she’s loved it too
by Clare
A great book for mothers starting to think about the weaning process. The recipes are all easily adaptable for all the family. Another Joe Wicks success!
