i) the baby's future relationship with food, and

The weaning period (moving to solids) is a crucial time in your baby's development, not only

because it means that he/she has to learn how to eat, but also the first experiences with food

have an influence in: i) the relationship that the baby will have with food in the future, and ii) the development of food preferences, eating behaviors and bodyweight in your baby´s childhood, adolescence and adulthood.

 

Starting solids with purées have been the most common approach to feeding babies, foods served are typically puréed or mashed, where the parent is in total control (spoon feeding).

 

Babies who are spoon-fed should be given the opportunity to eat on their own, with their fingers, so they can transition away from spoon-feeding when they are ready.

 

In this course we will discuss all the information about starting solid food, so you can feel

confident giving food to your baby.
