A mother’s videos of her six-month-old baby devouring a bloody steak have ignited a heated internet controversy, and it’s clear that not everyone is pleased.
As a result of cultural and generational differences in childrearing practices, there is an ongoing discussion on what newborns should and should not eat.
Everyone appears to agree that breast milk or another form of nutrition is essential during a baby’s first few months of life.
The introduction of solid meals to a newborn is a significant milestone in their development. While most parents choose to start their babies off with pureed veggies, one woman chose to skip the intermediary and gave her baby a piece of steak.
A video of Katie’s six-month-old son joyfully chewing on a steak was uploaded by TikTok user @mrskatieharley and has now amassed over 200,000 views.
