Focus on feeding. Don't let your little gourmet get distracted by the TV or a high-chair tray full of toys. Minimize the toys. If they want to play, let them play with safety spoons and bowls while you keep the focus on the food.
Let them try to feed themselves. Sure, they are going to make a mess. But that’s how they learn. Let them explore and have fun.
Keep offering. Just because your baby rejects a food once (or twice, or five times) doesn’t mean you should give up. It can take time for them to adjust to the new food.
Try to eat meals as a family, so baby is encouraged to model your habits. And try to adhere to a schedule so baby is not upset that park time ended abruptly for lunch or story time.
