Answer:

to stop giving the baby canned foods

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving canned foods is not okay to give to a baby because some canned foods might have bad chemicals in the making process, and that could have serious effects on the baby, since babies don't have a ''stable'' stomach system until they are about 1 or 2 year(s) old.
