Useful Information

Weaning safety means above all prevention: food cut in the right way, stable posture and zero distractions while eating. It is not necessary to become a specialist, but it is very useful to know some basic concepts of the physiology of swallowing, how the airways are made, safe cuts and recognize risky behaviors in order to enjoy a meal with peace of mind.

In the first years of life, the risk of suffocation is greater for anatomical and behavioral reasons. You can reduce it like this: - offer food cut safely (no round shapes or rings, always cut like sticks); - no whole dried fruit, popcorn, hard candies; - the boy or girl eats seated, with stable support and without games, TV or chasing with a spoon; - you don't eat in the car or while you run; - keep objects under 4.5 cm away (diameter similar to a roll of toilet paper) .Even with the most careful supervision it can only take a few seconds: knowing how to intervene correctly is a security investment. Say with a practical course in first aid and destruction (Refer to the content: “Why is it important to take a course in first aid and pediatric destruction?”)
