Feeders and their usefulness for the baby. Having a baby at home means thinking about everything being safe to reduce the risks of any kind of accident, but what happens when the accident is caused by food?
You can’t simply not give them food to avoid choking; raising a child requires parents to use creative measures to solve everyday problems. When children begin their adventure into solids, it is normal for them to choke sometimes—they are just learning to eat and with lack of practice, certain incidents come with it like swallowing pieces of food larger than they can handle.
Choking is not the same as suffocating.
Therefore, we should not panic if they choke; they usually overcome it quickly and continue with the next bite, unless it is not just simple choking. However, it is important to remember that the risk of suffocation is lower the more experience they have with solids.
Feeders.
To introduce solids without worrying about choking risks, pacifier feeders can be used. These interesting accessories allow food to be placed inside, and the baby will suck the nutrients from them. Also, they will begin to have contact with foods other than breast milk or bottle, which helps them get used to the taste of new foods. With feeders, there is zero risk of choking (for the more worried) or suffocation; it is also a safe way to introduce fruits, for example.
Another benefit of feeders is that they can reduce the baby’s milk feedings, making future weaning less traumatic (for some, stopping breastfeeding is easier than for others).
It is important to quickly understand that both things are not the same. Everyone chokes; children especially so because they are in the learning process. Choking is just a fleeting obstruction on the way to the stomach. That’s why a good way to help them get used to solids is to gradually introduce manageable food portions from very young (between 4 and 6 months). This way, solids won’t be a challenge for them later. If, on the contrary, they delay trying solids, it will be harder for them to get used to eating anything that hasn’t previously been blended. On the other hand, suffocation happens when food pieces block the airways, which is serious and can lead to asphyxia.
