POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy4 years agoA. Make a mess! Don't be afraid to let your hands—or your child's—get dirty. Allowing your little one to play with her food isn't only fun, it's beneficial. Research from the University of Nottingham's School of Psychology found that babies who were allowed to freely pick-up, toy with, and choose their own food grew up to make healthier choices as children. This strategy is part of "baby-led" weaning—a fancy term for allowing babies free rein with food so that they feel empowered and engaged at mealtimes.
Finger foods. Force feeding is exasperating for everyone, and it can cause blowback—literally (spit-up anyone?). Empower your baby by creating small pieces of fist-friendly food in different shapes and sizes. Cut soft (and safe) foods like bananas or bread into small chunks and let your baby squish, sample and savor the pieces for the full sensual experience. Resist the urge to correct or feed her; the entertainment will encourage her to eat at her own pace.
