I’m challenging you to skip the pouch and serve that food in a BOWL next time!! Pouches and tubes are CONVENIENT, and they absolutely have a place in a well-rounded diet. 👏🏼 But if most of your baby’s yogurt, applesauce and purées are coming straight from a pouch, they’re missing opportunities to PRACTICE. 🥄 Scooping and bringing a spoon to their mouth ✋ Building fine motor skills and coordination 🍓 Touching, squishing and exploring different textures 🧠 Getting messy and experiencing food through their senses 🙌 Learning to feed themselves independently So use the pouch when you need the pouch. But when you have the time, pour it into a bowl, hand them a spoon and LET THEM GET MESSY. 😂 How old was your baby when they started trying to use a spoon? #babyledweaning #blw #startingsolids #babyfeeding #babymilestones
