Life threatening allergies

[mom-in-alberta]

Could not agree more. Kids are kept on a liquid diet until the magical age of one, at which point they are supposed to just "know" how to chew food? Seems silly to me.
Some time ago, we were looking through my step-dad-in-law's baby book, for kicks. We found it hilarious that it was recorded that his first food was steak and green beans at -wait for it- 8 weeks old!! I am starting to wonder if the previous generation actually knew what they were doing in some areas.
