A Nigerian lady has questioned the dietary preferences of infants after learning that her niece prefers cassava flakes locally known as garri to baby food.
The woman @motunfash found amusement in her niece’s unexpected act of refusing to eat her baby food and consenting to garri voluntarily.
The toddler was persuaded to eat well, but it was evident from the video that she was uncomfortable since she kept turning her face away from the spoonful of baby food.
In another video, her niece demonstrated her unwavering affection for garri by eating from a plate without becoming upset.
Online users were astounded by the widespread belief that children should forgo their baby food in favor of solid diets and unusual meals while they are tender.
Many argued that garri consumption in toddlers could result in potential eye abnormalities and the need for immediate eye correction.
Below are some comments,
