Parental Alert: As specialists in swallowing and feeding development… We ask parents to please, please put the baby food pouches down and pick up a spoon. 🚫👏🏻 🥄

“Pouches fail to challenge children at a crucial stage of feeding and oral development — when they are learning to chew and swallow soft foods, which helps with speech, and when they need varied and multi-sensory experiences, which helps develop a palate for a wide range of foods later on.”

They are so convenient — but experts say they can be a gateway to bad eating habits.

“Tablets are the ultimate shortcut tools: Unlike a mother reading a story to a child, for example, a smartphone-told story spoon-feeds images, words, and pictures all at once to a young reader. Rather than having to take the time to process a mother’s voice into words, visualize complete pictures and exert the mental effort to follow a story line, kids who follow stories on their smartphones get lazy. The device does the thinking for them, and as a result, their own cognitive muscles remain weak.” ~Liraz Margalit Ph.D”

Often parents have a nagging sense they should limit screen time, but often question whether there’s enough evidence to justify yanking coveted devices.
