Practice makes perfect
It takes a lot of practice to learn how to use a fork and spoon. The volume of food your child eats might be reduced at this time but remember once they can self feed then they become better eaters. Worth the wait!
Summer fun with Grandma
Summer is a good time to entice tasty new foods. Ice cream can slowly be transitioned to frozen yogurt and then to home made Popsicles full of good nutritious ingredients!
The Real Happy Meal
It takes a lot of PATIENCE to work towards happy eating. Once a child is self feeding they can experience the joy of food, even if it means they eat less than when the parent is feeding them.
Self feeding tip
Lasagna is a baby friendly food. Easy for self feeding
Eating outside
With the good weather just around the corner, snacks and lunches can be outside on a picnic blanket or small table.
Food Chaining
Add a little hummus to a favourite food such as toast to increase the protein and iron.
