First of all, don’t blame yourself. It’s normal for us to make mistakes trying to get it right and leave our children well fed no matter how much information we have. Think that the important thing is to correct some behaviors and avoid them from now on – and don’t beat yourself up if everything doesn’t go as planned.
1. Just give the baby soups and baby food beat in the blender. In addition to not differentiating the flavors of each food, he doesn’t even know the texture, compromising chewing and may find it strange later.
Two. give Stfruit juices in the introduction of food. The child loses fibres, important for delaying the absorption of sugars, and acquires an exaggerated dose of fructose, which predisposes to diabetes and interferes with the perception of satiety. The ideal is that the child only has contact with juices from 1 year and that he is limited to 150ml per day until he is 3 years old. give fruit in nature or in dad.
3. Thicken the milk of the child with flour or give porridge. The child does not need this “enhanced” diet, which can lead to obesity due to the amount of sugar present in these supplements. Milk is enough.
4. feed with television on or mobile phone (yes, we know, sometimes it’s impossible, but the truth is that this diverts attention so that the child realizes what and how much he is eating, and it is important that he learns to regulate his amount of food )
5. leave ours mobile phone on the table🇧🇷 If the rule is no TV, toys or cell phones, it applies to parents.
6. Eat separately of the child: it is essential that he knows that the meal is a moment of aggregation of the family and that he sees the adults eating a good variety of foods, in order to set a good example (not to mention that it is easy, right?)
7. don’t have one right moment for meals – it’s okay to get out of the rut once in a while, but you gotta have one! This helps regulate your appetite.
8. Stop bidding a food if the child refuses. Experts say it should be offered at least 10 times before being dropped from the menu. Vary the presentation: boiled, roasted, mashed, blended, in pieces…
9. Replace meal with milk. After 6 months of age, milk and food are complementary. It should not replace lunch or dinner, even if the child has eaten almost nothing. When this happens, it’s best to shorten the interval for the next snack, but don’t substitute one for the other.
10. To offer sweet before 2 years of age. Early exposure can predispose your child to diabetes, obesity, fatty liver and tooth decay.
11. Strength the baby to eat. You must offer, but never oblige. This can create a bad relationship with mealtimes.
12. Who tidbit before dinner, you won’t be hungry. Even if it’s just a cookie or two, remember that your child’s tummy is small. A 1-year-old has a belly the size of a clenched fist or an apple, which equates to an average capacity of 250ml.
13. food and reward does not match. Don’t make this association. Don’t promise anything if your child cleans up the plate, even if it’s dessert.
14. Do not small plane🇧🇷 Eating time shouldn’t be seen as a joke by the child.
15. Finally, a modern fallacy: unpack rather than peel. If the food has more packages than peels, it’s a sign that it’s not that healthy. Works? Yes and how! But the reward is in your family’s health.
