One mother complained that her baby was not interested in complementary foods since she tried them after 6 months, and she is still willing to eat only breast milk and not complementary foods after 9 months, which makes her anxious. Indeed, many parents are worried about the baby eating problem, so how to make the baby eat well? 1, let the baby first learn to accept the spoon Baby eating complementary food, from the beginning we must pay attention to spoon feeding, and need to repeatedly try and practice, at first the baby may not eat a spoonful of complementary food, but with continuous attempts, the baby will be able to gradually master the spoon eating complementary food skills. The practice of putting complementary food directly into the bottle and letting the baby drink complementary food is not advisable, because eating with a bottle has a different meaning than eating with a spoon. When your baby is about 8 months old, you need to prepare some finger food for your baby to practice grasping food to eat, which will allow the coordination of your baby’s hands, eyes, mouth and brain to be trained. When you first start adding complementary foods to your baby, you can’t wait until your baby is already very hungry before trying complementary foods, your baby may throw a fit or even refuse to open his mouth to eat complementary foods. You should not wait until your baby is full enough before adding complementary foods. You can give your baby some milk (breast milk or formula) before each complementary food so that your baby will not try complementary foods when he/she is very hungry. When you first try complementary foods, you can feed half a spoonful or less and talk to him so that your baby can gradually get used to the spoon. Although most of the food is not fed into your baby’s mouth at first, but gets on your baby’s face or bib, as long as you persist, you will be able to make your baby accept complementary foods successfully and learn to eat with a spoon. Parents remember, this is the time to be patient! Patience! Patience! 2, may let the baby play with tableware 7 to 9 months old baby like to grasp the tableware with their hands, this time may let the baby to play with playing with small spoons or small bowls and other tableware, of course, we must also pay attention to forks and other tableware can not be too sharp, so as not to hurt the baby. Then let your baby learn to pick up some smaller foods, such as very small pieces of bananas, boiled potatoes, cubes of broccoli or carrots, etc. 3, eating skills need to be constantly imitated When the baby is 8 months old, if he wants to eat by himself, he will approach the food or reach out and grab it. You can let the baby hold the food to eat, such as finger cookies, soft boiled vegetable stems, groundnuts, carrots, etc.. Parents can also encourage their baby to use a spoon and let him watch you imitate how to use the spoon while eating, even if he has not yet mastered the skills, he can hold the spoon and feel it. Some babies do not let adults feed them after 1 year old and learn to eat by themselves with a spoon. At 18 months, they may have learned to eat by themselves with a spoon, but of course, they may eat a mess at this time. But by the time babies are 24 months old, they are able to eat sequentially using spoons, etc. In general, for infants and toddlers, mastering the ability to eat on their own needs a process, parents should give more understanding and encouragement, do not deprive babies of the opportunity to eat on their own, and have enough patience, rather than a look at the baby does not eat, think that the baby has a problem.
