The introduction of solid foods into the infant’s diet is a moment of great change in the routine of parents and children. In recent years, weaning has been progressively “liber- alized”, eliminating, for example, the practice of timed insertions. However, such freedom easily translates into a lack of references for parents, who are too often given imprecise—if not even conflicting—indications deriving from various sources (pediatricians, friends, the internet, books and magazines on the subject). In the present Special Issue, we focused on the concept of personalized nutrition in all stages of life, and we investigated the currently most common weaning practices.

Abstract
The introduction of solid foods into the infant’s diet is a moment of great change in the routine of parents and children. In recent years, weaning has been progressively “liber- alized”, eliminating, for example, the practice of timed insertions. However, such freedom easily translates into a lack of references for parents, who are too often given imprecise—if not even conflicting—indications deriving from various sources (pediatricians, friends, the internet, books and magazines on the subject). In the present Special Issue, we focused on the concept of personalized nutrition in all stages of life, and we investigated the currently most common weaning practices.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
