Complementary feeding: tips from the experts
The transition from milk to solid food is an exciting step for your baby - and for you as a parent. This phase is not only a new experience for your little one's palate, but also a sensitive developmental moment that requires time, patience and trust. There is no fixed schedule that suits everyone - it is important to pay attention to your baby's signals and to see the introduction of complementary foods as a shared discovery. We spoke to experts and answer the most frequently asked questions about introducing complementary foods.
At the table with a toddler: tips for the first meals together
Spending time together at the dining table can be a wonderful ritual in everyday family life - but it can quickly become a test of patience, especially with a baby or toddler. To make mealtimes more relaxed for everyone, it's not just practical tools that help, but above all fixed routines, child-orientated co-determination and good preparation. The environment also plays an important role: a comfortable and safe seat, enough support from footrest and inflatable cushion insert, as well as a tidy, functional eating area ensure a relaxed atmosphere - for both child and parent.
