Add new ingredients to your baby’s original favorite foods, from small to large portions and varieties. If your baby doesn’t like the food, reduce the amount of food available, but gradually increase the variety of complementary foods so that your baby can develop good habits of not being a picky eater. Sometimes it is not the taste but the way of cooking that babies hate a certain food, therefore, parents should change the cooking style more often. In addition, children who are teething like to bite into chewy foods, so it is a good idea to change the fruit puree to fruit slices at this time. Food should also be color-coordinated to stimulate the baby’s appetite, but the taste should not be too strong.

If your baby likes to eat with his hands, you can cook food that is easy to hold to satisfy your child’s desire and make him feel that eating is a “sense of accomplishment”, and his appetite will be more vigorous. 5 10 minutes before the meal, if the child is suddenly interrupted while playing, it will cause resistance and rejection, so even if the child is about 1 year old, he should be told in advance what he is about to do, for example: “In 10 minutes, we will wash our hands and eat! 6 Prepare a set of children’s tableware with a large bowl full of food, will make the baby produce a sense of pressure and affect appetite; sharp and easily broken tableware should not be used by young children to avoid accidents. Commercially available children’s tableware with cute patterns and bright colors can promote the baby’s appetite. Parents may wish to take their children, by his own set of shopping. If your baby does not feel hungry by mealtime, don’t make him eat. Often forcing the baby to eat will make him feel that eating is a nasty thing, and in the long run will produce a rejection psychology. Parents should not be eager to train their babies to become little gentlemen or little ladies, they put forward unreasonable technical requirements, such as: must use chopsticks, soup can not drip out, etc., these baby temporarily can not do the requirements, will make him feel frustrated and affect the dining mood. 8 Do not judge food in front of the child Babies imitate the behavior of adults, so parents should not pick food and judge food in front of the child to avoid developing the habit of partial eating. 9 Learn the principle of food substitution If your baby hates a certain food, perhaps only temporarily, you can stop feeding him and let him eat it again at intervals, during which you can feed him substitutes with similar nutrients. In addition, as long as your baby is healthy and vigorous, and the growth is in line with the growth curve in your baby’s health booklet, there is no need to worry about eating less once in a while, just let it happen.
