Starting solids with Baby Led- Weaning
An approach to introduce complementary feeding that is guided by the babies. (Upon request)
Description
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.
