I think that learning to eat should be pleasurable, not a duty and that
children should learn to eat food, not nutrition. When they show they
are interested, and they are, because they want to be like their
parents, I think we should encourage this. If the parents watch their
child and not the calendar, they will be starting food between 5 and 6
months. I think this is fine, and with few exceptions there should be
no restrictions. In fact, since the child reaches for the parents'
food, the child should be given the parents' food, not little jars,
which are a waste of money.
