Eating is a sensory experience

Eating is a sensory experience for babies. #babyledweaning allows them to feel the food, develop dexterity as they grasp and bring it to their mouth. The smell , the texture, the taste ... they experience each piece differently.

Pureeing foods and spooning it into their mouth takes an engaging activity and turns it into a passive experience.

Allowing babies to learn through the experience of self-feeding might look like a mess but it is valuable and supports hand-eye coordination, pincer-grip development and dexterity.

#babyledweaning is learning how to eat.
