    So like when a bird regurgitates for their young.

    I have a parrot and sometimes he attempts to feed me from his crop storage, it’s gross.

      We’re pretty sure that humans chewed food for their children before blenders and packaged baby food

        Some even assume children were born before there were hospitals and doctors around, crazy take, I know.

            Whole foods

            During the breast feeding time alternatives would be a porridge, or animal milk. I assume you could grind food with a pestle and mortar but the baby would most likely die of malnourishment without it

              Humans have only been farming grain for about 10 thousand years, and there’s not many other foods you can grind. Ancient humans ate a lot of meat, and babies after weaning ate meat, much of it pre-chewed by mum. Things like brain wouldn’t need to be chewed

      I imagine it’s like a grandma that doesn’t cook well.
