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.
