Executive Summary about Baby Eating by Declan Tobin
Most parents will feel that the more their baby eats the better. They feel that this is a reflection on their parenting and the more the baby eats the more successful the parent.
Faddy eating is a normal stage in your baby development. A basic fact is that most children will go through a stage of faddy eating.
The best approach to faddy eating is to stay calm, the chances of your baby starving to death is very slim. As long as the baby is drinking a lot of fluids and eating some food during the day he should be okay.
Your baby doesn’t have to get all its necessary food requirements at meal times. If your baby refuses to sit down to a plate of food don’t worry too much.
A baby can get all his food requirements from small nutritious snacks at regular intervals throughout the day. If your baby accepts healthy snacks then these will help provide the range of nutrients they need.
Don’t take your baby eating habits personally. Sometimes a parent will get upset if their babies is eating at crèche or at another parents house.
Sometimes a baby will eat when they see another baby eating, they wil imitate their peers.
