This method allows the incorporation of solid foods in the feeding of the baby, without having to go through the phase of mashed potatoes and baby food.


The baby feeds by itself using his hands.


It should be noted, as its name suggests, it is a complementary food. It does not replace breastfeeding.

 

Until they reach the first year of life, This method is more used to educate to eat than to really feed baby, since their main food is still milk.
