"Drink the soup, you will grow tall and strong", "If you want to be beautiful and smart, you must eat more fish"... In order to encourage the baby to develop good eating habits, have the mothers been at the table? Baby chattering, exhausted soft and hard foam, coercive words? But as a result, the babies will still refuse the seaweed soup or spit out the sweet and sour fish you cooked, and even slip away from your baby chair, and will not return to the table!
Eating habits are not easy to cultivate
The cultivation of good eating habits begins with the addition of
complementary foods. However, it is a recognized fact that teaching
your baby to develop good eating habits can be a long and not easy
process. If your mother has good eating habits, your baby will be
more likely to develop good eating habits as you wish. But only this
is not enough. Other methods may help the troubled mommy.
Eight notes to keep in mind
1. Prepare a set of special tableware
Adults' dishes and cups are not suitable for babies. Large and heavy
cups and bowls filled with juice or milk, the baby will have a sense
of oppression and thus affect the appetite. Children's tableware is
more suitable for babies, you can bring your baby to buy together,
let him choose the patterns and styles he likes to increase the
interest in eating.
2. Advance notice on time
The number of meals and meal time of the baby should be regular. When
it is time to eat, he should be allowed to eat. However, it should be
noted that even a 2-year-old baby should tell him what he is going to
do beforehand, and then give him a certain buffer time to avoid the
anger, rebellion and rejection caused by the interruption of play.
And affecting eating.
3. Avoid picking and partial eclipse
A small amount of meals is good for your baby's diet, but the amount
of snacks outside the dinner should not be too much, so that the baby
can't eat when he gets to dinner. Dim Sum should choose foods with
high nutritional value and do not eat "junk" food. Every
meal, dish, fish, meat, and fruit are well matched. Do not eat snacks
or drink water before meals, so as not to affect appetite and
digestion.
4. Let the baby help
In order to meet the baby's desire to learn, before the meal, the
mother can ask the baby to help organize the table, put the
tableware, etc., so that the baby will be full of expectations, and
the possibility of sitting down to eat is higher.
5. Change the cooking method
The reason why the baby can't sit still does not necessarily mean
that the taste of the dish is not good, sometimes it is because the
way of cooking makes the baby unacceptable. So you may want to change
the cooking method frequently, steaming, braised, or colorful rice
with carrots and corn kernels to make your baby feel fresh and
increase the motivation for eating.
6. Do not force eating
Although a balanced intake of all kinds of foods can help your baby
grow up healthily, you can't force them to eat. You can use the food
that your baby likes to eat first, and then add less food, and
gradually add other foods to let the baby accept it slowly. As long
as the diet is rich, the baby is naturally happy to sit down and eat.
7. Give your baby hunger
The reason why the baby refuses to sit down to eat, sometimes because
he is not hungry, so find ways to make him feel hungry. After a few
times, the baby will know that he will be hungry when he sat down to
eat. This method is simple to listen to, but it is not easy to do it,
because parents must first harden their hearts, and they cannot
always worry that their baby is hungry.
8. Less blame and praise
The atmosphere of the meal should be easy to make the baby
comfortable. Don't force the mother to let him eat more food, or to
show his bad performance and strictly reprimand, even make a big
move. When the baby can sit and eat very safely, don't forget to
praise him. After dinner, Mom and Dad can also play with him for a
while as a reward, let him have a happy memory about eating, and will
not be very reluctant to eat later.
