Children Health – Technique of giving solid foods to infants can be done with conventional methods-known as 'parent led weaning' (feeding, led by parents), or with the current method known as 'baby led weaning' (feeding the babies led by themselves). Each technique has advantages and disadvantages of each, the application can be adapted to the child's condition.

The essence of the method parent led weaning (PLW) is infant feeding is done entirely by the parents. That is, parents have full control over the type, portion, as well as how to feed the child. Thus, parents should really pay attention to the nutritional needs of children in a balanced way.

After a few weeks, the liquid portion which are mixed is reduced so that the texture of pureed food grow thick. Furthermore, at around the age of 8-9 months, the child has begun to eat whole foods that are softened, such as rice team as well as carrots, sweet potatoes, or steamed potatoes.
