Food rant

I keep seeing people say “food before one is just for fun”. No, that’s not necessarily true. There’s reasons we start baby on food, it’s not for “fun”. It’s to teach babies how to handle the solids, chewing, swallowing, etc. it is also to get them accustomed to different flavor profiles because at one food is their main source of nutrition. You start the process of “weaning” at 6 months and over that time yes the baby will stop taking as much formula/breastmilk. The reasons doctors say formula/breastmilk is still main source of nutrition is because they don’t want you to start offering regular milk before one.
