YOUR CHILD AND HIS FOOD

Most of the mom’s complain that their child does not eat ample amount. There is nothing to worry about it, many kids are not that readily eater when compared to others. You can say they are very fussy eater. Whatever you may keep in front of them, they eat very less. Don’t be worried as the kids of upto age of 1 relay mostly on milk and milk itself serves as a wholesome food for them.

Keep trying different nutritionally balanced food, your child might like a few of them. Even it can happen that sometimes your child might like some particular food and may not eat the same food after few days. They keep developing new taste. Even it can be that your child eats bit more when compared to other days.
When you are feeding the food the child does not like very much, you can serve it along with the food that he likes and keep feeding in between changing the taste.

Don’t be too stressed or frustrated with the small quantity your child takes at a time. Instead keep trying. No baby can become an instant eater immediately.
While starting with fruits, banana is a very good option. It is easy to chew and digest.

When you are ready to feed your baby, get his water, food and other required thing at a time so that you need not to give a break while feeding your baby.

Use of bib while feeding will be quite helpful as your child will be dropping food or taking out of his mouth every now and then. Bibs which have pockets would be quite good as most of the falling food will accumulate in the lower portion of the pocket.
