HOW TO TEACH YOUR BABY TO CHEW

Image
1. BE PATIENT If your baby is already more than 9-10 months old and there are problems with chewing, then you should not give mashed potatoes today, and finger foods tomorrow. Your baby just won't understand what is happening and, most likely, this experience will not end very well. Your baby will either spit it out or choke and get scared. Start with "micro-doses" (pieces the size of a rice). Buckwheat/rice groats or small pieces of any soft foods are perfect. As soon as your baby begins to cope with such pieces easily, eat not one, but several such pieces at once, chew and swallow them well, you can offer him small soft 1x1cm pieces, for example, baked or steamed apple, pear or pumpkin. The size of the pieces, the volume of the portion of food in pieces and the hardness of the pieces themselves will gradually increase. 2. DON'T BE SCARED I guess every mother has noticed how sensitive kids feel to our mood. They are naughty when we get angry or upset, and calm ...

THE ONLY REASON YOUR BABY IS A SLOW EATER

WHY DOES YOUR BABY EAT SLOWLY AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT? Here are common reasons your little one is a slow eater. 1. JUST LEARNING HOW TO CHEW. If you just introduced solids or changed the texture to a thicker one, your baby is learning to chew, swallow, eat with a spoon, etc. The child develops these new skills gradually, it is difficult and unusual for him, and so the feeding process can be delayed. WHAT TO DO? - Be patient, give your child time to learn, help, and assist. Do not rush and do not scold, otherwise, you can scare the child and provoke refusal to eat or discourage the desire to learn a new skill. - If the problem is that the consistency is not suitable for your baby (he hardly eats literally a spoon), then you simply adapt the consistency to a more suitable one at the moment (smaller pieces, softer, etc.) 2. BABY IS USED TO STRETCHING MEALS. Your child always eats 30-40 minutes. This is a habit that the mother creates: she keeps the child at the table, waits for...

THE ONLY REASON YOUR BABY IS A PICKY EATER

Image
Loss of food interest after 1-2 months of solids is quite often, which is sometimes blamed on the teeth, vaccination, etc. Your baby perfectly opened his mouth literally a week ago, and today suddenly he began to completely refuse to eat. 1. You need to understand whether it was really food interest. If the baby opened his mouth to the spoon you suggested, this is not food interest. The child should be interested in food without your initiative, reach for the plate, try to drag a piece off the table, and so on. 2. Often, when food interest appears (or if the baby simply does not resist and opens its mouth), mothers calm down and think that this will happen all the time now. But food interest does not appear once and for all, it must be supported. And here mothers often make typical mistakes: - do not understand what food interest is, how and why to support it. - introduce certain products in a binding sequence, whether it is interesting to the child or not. - they try to introduc...
