NUTRITIONAL TIPS

1. Try to give your baby natural, unprocessed, healthy foods from every food group. For example, if you can`t find a reliable chicken, don`t buy that chicken and feed it to your baby. Turn to vegetable or animal equivalents that contain the same nutrients.

1. In infant feeding, no matter how different and different foods the family gives to the baby, the baby will not be selective when it grows up. A monotonous diet is not healthy, it reduces life expectancy.

1. Make sure vegetables are included in the daily menu.

1. Don`t force it to finish its plate if it doesn`t like it.

1. Don`t let it fill its stomach, it won`t be a good habit in the long run.

1. If a baby skips lunch, make sure the snack is nutritious and adequate.

1. Don`t get stressed and forceful when it skips a meal or doesn`t want to eat. No baby can endure hunger, as it is against its existence, it will eventually come and demand food from you. However, if you put pressure on it or give snacks just to fill its stomach, it will always try to use this situation. As a result, it is inevitable to acquire a bad eating habit. No child can endure hunger unless there is a health problem. However, this does not mean that it will eat as much as you want it to be fed. A small portion may be enough for your baby. If its development, weight gain, motility and bowel movements are normal, eating less is not a problem.

1. Do not feed your baby in front of the TV or watching videos. Because too many colorful and moving stimuli are passed in succession on television or video, the baby gets locked in there, and when the baby eats in this way, it does not realize what it is eating or how much it has eaten. This causes the baby`s control system to be damaged and may lead to eating disorders.

1. Let your baby sit at the same table with the family.

1. Keep track of allergies when introducing new food items.

1. Choose to crush food rather than give it whole.

1. Avoid sugar as much as possible. Try homemade healthy recipes for dessert.

1. During this period, it may lose interest in the foods it used to enjoy and may refuse to eat them. Changing the presentation image and offering different foods help to solve the problem. It may also be beneficial to cook with different spices, garlic-onion, and use different techniques.
