Baby-led weaning : the (not-so) revolutionary way to start solids and make a happy eater
\"Around 6 months, most babies are developmentally ready to self-feed. The philosophy behind baby-led weaning is to offer your baby healthy finger foods and let her determine how much or how little she wants to eat. The baby-led method has been proven to: Encourage healthy eating habits; Discourage pickiness; Help children learn to listen to their bodies; Build confident eaters... Baby-Led Weaning features at-a-glance nutrition and food tips as well as specific chapters on special diets and allergies.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Predicting and Preparing for the Future of Babies Born Extremely Preterm: Parents Give Recommendations to Clinicians
Background: Parents of extremely preterm children face many challenges and uncertainties. The information and support provided by clinicians -both before and after birth- is invaluable to help them make informed decisions about their child's future. Objective: To explore the information needs of parents of extremely preterm infants. Methods: All parents of infants born <29 weeks' gestational age and seen for neonatal follow-up between the ages of 18 months and 7 years were consecutively recruited over a one-year period. Parents were asked: \"Knowing what you know now, what do you wish doctors would have told you about prematurity before and/or after your child's birth?\" Answers were analyzed using mixed methods by medical professionals and a patient-partner. Results: 45% of the 249 parents (98% participation rate), were satisfied with the medical information and support they received. Prenatally, 16% felt that more practical information was needed in term of the function of babies born preterm (not only diagnoses), some parents would have liked prematurity to be mentioned in their normal pregnancy follow-up. 19% of parents wanted to know more about the life-trajectory of babies in the NICU, as well as how they could be part of the team to help their baby. 22% wished discharge to be improved, to be better prepared for the future: \"BPD does not help. We would have liked to know what leaving on oxygen meant, that she should not go to daycare, the risk with infections, RSV shots, sleeping problems many preemies have. This could have been done weeks before we left the hospital.\" Fourteen percent wished they had known more about resources for psychosocial support. Parents (14%) wished for clinicians to be more optimistic and to give them hope: \"Before birth, I would have liked to know that most micro preemies do well.\" Conclusion: Although half the parents are satisfied with information and support received, the other half recommends improvements, mainly to make it positive and practical. Diagnoses did not help parents prepare for the future prenatally, in the NICU or at discharge, but function and what parents could do (in a practical fashion) did.
