The only upside to my being forced to stay in bed is that I can tweet more medi-torial stuff! So, coming up: "Problems" regarding c-sections

The first (recorded) C/section was done to deliver a frm the womb of it's mom who had died. This was in Rome, & that child was NOT Julius!😀

I want to talk about the perils of “new age parenting”. Some of the new “trends” are detrimental to children’s development.

One that’s very common is blending food for babies beyond 8-9months.

This is wrong &delays child’s development.

#Parenting #BabyFeeding #BustingMyths

You find kids at >12mnths still eating finely blended food. Introduction of solids is often between 4-6mo. Starting w finely blended foods.

Kids need to start eating more texturized foods frm 7-9mo. After this, it can be difficult as they have developed habit of not chewing.

This over blending can be due to many reasons.
I see the “parenting by fear” trend that is telling parents kids will choke on food.
Or maybe it’s just trendy to say I bought blender “xyz”;
Or that “you know my baby is so fussy/ is a lazy chewer”

Trends where parents don’t PARENT
