Well-known Qatar-based blogger and mommy influencer Sanya Moiz launched her maiden book, ‘Let’s Start Weaning!’, at Centara West Bay Hotel & Residences on September 3.Prominent guests and social media influencers were among those who attended the distinctive ceremony whose motto was not only to launch the book but to also connect with moms and mom entrepreneurs.Welcoming the guests, Sanya shared her struggles and the story behind writing this book. Sanya is a certified architect and passionate homemaker who moved from Pakistan to Qatar in 2018. With certification in child nutrition and cooking, she is a well-known mommy influencer with an Instagram channel named ‘mom4amdoha’ where she shares information on parenting and her baby-led-weaning (BLW) journey with her sons Zia and Zayd. The success of their BLW lifted her spirits and inspired her to compile all her BLW recipes into a cookbook.“This book is not just a list of recipes; it is much more than that. It is an experience. I wanted to make it different and unique in its own way. It provides tastes from different parts of the world not only for babies but also for grown-ups,” remarked Sanya.“It will help parents to plan their meals and provide answers to the questions they might have for their little ones. Since I struggled, I guess a lot of mums have the same challenge. I wanted to share what I learned and support mums in baby-led weaning journey. I hope this baby cookbook will offer tremendous help to mommies, daddies, and caregivers and make their BLW journey enjoyable,” she added.The book, she pointed out, is a result of nine months of hardship and dedication. She is all praise for her husband, Moiz Azam, who helped her in accomplishing a difficult task. “This explicit cookbook is a comprehensive guide to satisfy every doubt and will help parents throughout their weaning journey. Weekly meal planners have been included to prepare ahead of time. More than 100 recipes from purees to all three meals of the day, including tasty snacks and treats for children are part of the book,” noted Sanya.The event, meanwhile, also included a session on ‘Limiting Beliefs’ by Elizabeth Wood as well as an interactive discussion on mom entrepreneurship by renowned panelists Conchita Ponce, Sahar Alansari, and Elizabete Reis. The event concluded with a book signing and cake-cutting ceremony.
