The plastic spoon is taken out, the jar unscrewed, the bib tied, the camera pulled out. Then follows one of the most exciting moments in a baby’s first year, at least for the new parents. Because the child, just four months old, should eat something real for the first time after all the milk. Complementary food is what a child’s first solid food is called, and the introduction of complementary food is the time that now follows. Roughly speaking, this means: eat porridge, next to the milk. But not only. But also: eat porridge according to a fixed plan and a comprehensive recommendation that all parents receive today from the pediatrician, on the Internet, in midwife practices, pharmacy booklets or parent magazines.
