Baby food during weaning: yes or no?
Introduction
Weaning baby food: yes or no? This is a dilemma that many families face.
Since this topic is understandably very popular, I decided to create this content.
As you can see, it is preceded by an index, which I have inserted to allow you, with a simple click on the paragraph titles, to delve deeper into the aspects that interest you.
If you want to have a complete overview of the fascinating universe of complementary feeding on demand, you can take a look at the video course “Practical, easy and stress-free self-weaning” by Doctor Federica Dell'Oro, nutrition biologist of the DrSilva team.

2. Baby food: yes or no?
Is the path of baby food during weaning advisable?
As specified by Dr. Dell'Oro in this video , the answer is no.
As I explained in this article dedicated to the history of weaning, the tendency to offer products very similar to current baby food to very young children began to take hold around the 1960s, a period in which the approach to foods other than milk began too early, even around 2 - 3 months.
The goal? To remove what was mistakenly considered a vice.
At the age mentioned above, but also at 4 - 5 months , the baby is not able to manage foods other than breast milk or formula.
When you wait for the necessary skills to be achieved to start complementary feeding on demand - you can find them listed here - weaning porridges are no longer necessary.
They do have some disadvantages. Let's find out what they are in the next paragraph of the article.
