Why baby pablum was created?

Baby Pablum was created to provide a nutritious and easily digestible food option for infants transitioning from milk to solid foods. Developed in the 1930s by Dr. Allan S. C. McCuaig, it aimed to address the nutritional needs of babies, particularly in urban areas where access to fresh, homemade baby food was limited. The product was designed to be convenient for parents while ensuring that infants received essential vitamins and minerals for healthy growth and development.
