Joe has been so supportive of me the whole way, really bringing me on board as part of the Wean in 15 team.

At the beginning of the journey, your baby gets most of his nutrition from the breast milk or formula he continues to drink. With one hundred tasty recipes split into age stages, expert help with nutrients, allergies, supplements and fussy eaters, as well as knowing how to understand your child’s signals, this is the only weaning guide you will ever need to lay the foundation for a lifetime of healthy, happy eating.
