Your child clenched his teeth tightly and tears slowly creep down their cheeks. Or he turned the plate over and threw a tantrum. Or maybe he chews a piece of cutlet thoroughly for 10 minutes, and then spits it out on a plate? How to feed the baby and not turn this process into torture for the child and his parents?
Instructions
Step 1
Some people prefer to act in the old fashioned way: if they get hungry, they will ask for it themselves. This is not the right decision. Do not wait for the child to declare that he wants to eat. Irregular eating at an early age can lead to gastritis. And the child is an addicting creature, and he is able to ignore the feeling of hunger.
Step 2
Don't try to shove as much food into your child as possible. It is better if the child eats several times a day, but in small portions. And try to make your food contain more vitamins and minerals.
Step 3
If the child does not like dairy products such as kefir, cottage cheese, milk, mix them with fruit or a little jam. A sweetened milkshake with chunks of fruit can spark more interest than just a glass of milk.
Step 4
Chicken yolk is good for young children, but often children refuse to eat it. Wipe the boiled yolk through a sieve or crush it into a gruel with a spoon and add to another dish, porridge, for example, or mashed potatoes.
Step 5
Be sure to place a mug of juice or water on the table during meals so that the child can drink the so-called solid food.
Step 6
Try to get your child involved in cooking. It will be interesting for him to try what he cooked with his own hands.
Step 7
Buy only his personal set of dishes for the child. The colorful, bright plate whet the appetite. It's good if there is a funny picture at the bottom of the plate. Often children eat up porridge just to open this picture.
Step 8
Be in the fresh air with your child more often, exercise physical activity. During such walks, the child is wonderful to work up an appetite!
Step 9
When solving a problem, not the least is the variety of your table. Do not restrict your child's meals to a set of the same foods. Try to make your dishes look beautiful. Add a playful element to your diet. For example, place a salad in a cucumber boat and use a skewer to pin a sail made of a piece of cheese to it. Perhaps this is what will improve your child's appetite.
