I wonder how it went when our ancestors heated food for babies to eat on a burning camp fire? Was that a factor in high child mortality?

I wonder how our ancestors used a material not even developed yet without getting to to melt on an open fire.

I mean it's difficult to precisely gauge when cooking food on a camp fire how hot it'll be for a baby to eat.

I guess they would do it by finger touch then.

The practice of using utensils exclusively and not touching food with hands is a relatively recent thing.

I'm pretty sure children just breastfed for longer before eating solid foods.
