You can do a lot of things now to help your baby build good eating habits for the rest of his life. Set a good example by serving and eating a variety of nutritious foods. Eating nutritious foods is good for your physical and emotional health too. Sit down and eat with your child. If possible try to have the whole family sit down together at least once a day. It’s a good time to connect with each other. Give children positive attention when they eat the nutritious food you’ve given them. Remember babies do not spend very much time eating. When they are done, let them out of the high chair to play somewhere else. Never make eating a power struggle. Babies and adults need good healthy food to live. Spend time preparing and enjoying good foods.
