Speaking to Nursery World, the former health visitor and co-author of Baby-led weaning: helping your baby to love good food said that nursery practitioners should not be reluctant to embrace the method which involves children feeding themselves rather than being spoon-fed puree.
'Nurseries need to know about baby-led weaning, because increasingly more parents are finding out about it and wanting to do it,' she said.
'I have seen many exchanges on internet forums between parents, with one mother saying that their nursery is struggling with the idea. Other mothers straight away advise that if they are having problems, they should change the nursery. If a nursery is not prepared to support baby-led weaning, then the mother will find somewhere else to send their child.'
