These handout photographic illustrations are superbly clear.
When handing it out however, it might be wise to clarify the following 
statement with the mother.
Unfortunately it states "Six months is the recommended age for weaning 
babies."
There may be some semantic confusion over the meaning of "weaning" which 
many might interpret to mean "stopping breastfeeding". It appears however to 
mean "time to add other food", as the next statement is: "When weaning your 
baby, carry on breastfeeding (and/or bottle feeding) beyond the first six 
months."
All in all though, it appears to be a wonderful source, not only for the 
sake of the photographic illustrations but especially because it is 
available in so many different languages! <

In the UK, the word *weaning* indicates a process, rather than an event. 
Maybe the authors should have had a UK - US translation too. <G>
