[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s better for a child’s brain development to navigate with a spoon and bowl. And children suck pouches down too fast. But they’re good for emergencies or a treat. [/quote] agree with these. it's important for brain development to practice "crossing the midline" and eating can be one way to do it. jaw work is also helpful for facial development. also, it's environmentally horrible to eat individually packaged foods. my toxicologist friends from grad school (neighboring department) do not eat anything wet packaged in plastic if they can help it. and expensive. we had great luck with baby-led weaning, straight to finger foods.[/quote] This. Although I never did BLM, I never gave them pouches. [/quote]
