Can Babies Eat Food Chewed by Adults?

Question

Can babies eat food that has been chewed by adults?

Answer

Although some older people believe that chewing food and then feeding it to babies can prevent burns and aid in digestion, this practice is actually incorrect. Babies should eat age-appropriate foods directly, not those that have been chewed by adults. This method not only may transmit diseases but can also hinder the normal development of the baby’s digestive system.
