I think if you have any doubters in your midst then I'd recommend the first book so you're armed with as much info and background as possible to shoot back at well-meaning-comment-droppers. Otherwise, as long as you're sensible about it and follow the do's and don'ts, you'll be fine with the cookbook alone. Hmm, regarding aprons, dunno, we're going for the big long bib approach to start with (just a fabric one, apparently the big scoopy catchy plastic ones can be quite a distraction in itself at this age. All the best on your journey too, hope you share with us via comments! x Hi Katy,

Also (a trivial question but vital to save on washing) do you know where to get a good and well-fitting apron, the type that entirely covers the top half, like a coat?! I hope it goes well and will look forward to reading Art's journey. I am having to compromise as my husband thinks it is a ridiculous concept as he is adamant that as soon as our little one eats some solids at tea-times, ie by us feeding him so we know he has actually eaten, that he will magically sleep through, . Oh dear, I fear he is to be shown that getting sleep back may not be quite that simple!
