predigested is for wimps.. the latest thing is "baby-led weaning" where you just
leave chunks of food/meat/veg crusts etc from the adult menu within reach of the
tiny toothless baby and let it pick them up and gum away at it (or discard it).. on
no account does the parent mash, seive, pulp or (BIG NO NO) spoonfeed.

I was aghast when my DIL announced this crazed innovation,amazed when it worked
and the weans thrived instead of being starved nor choked to death.
