Do not insist upon the fact that he absolutely ate, move the plate away from him. He will eat everything indeed during the supper.

 

Many scientists come to the conclusion that you ought not to force-feed the baby, even the infant. So, if it’s time for the casual feeding, and your offspring does not think to wake up – don’t awaken him. Wait for him to open his eyes and he will demand his portion from you. Otherwise, the baby will eat much less than usual sleepy. As a result, he neither can sleep properly, nor get a quantity of the food enough, so he’ll be capricious, and the whole day you will calm him down.

In other words, you should as quickly as possible to get rid of the feeling that if the baby will not eat all that lies on the plate in front of him in time, he’ll surely die from the dystrophy. This won’t happen because the kid is not as helpless and tender as we think. If he’s really hungry, he will find an opportunity to ask you to eat.

For example, the well-known teachers Nikitins, who had seven children, took the view that by no means the baby can’t be fed by force. One day one of the boys got sick. He hadn’t eaten anything for three days, and his parents did not make any attempts to feed him, only gave the boy some water. As a result, the kid’s organism was able to overcome the disease. The child took the food a little at the first time only on the fourth day of the illness.

As a rule, in the second year of the life, the kid, who used to eat everything that lay on the plate in front of him, becomes very picky. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that the child requires significantly more time in order to feel hungry. On the other hand, the kid begins feeling like a person that is an independent one who has the right to his preferences and the choices. During this period, the baby’s tastes can change almost not every week. Today he eats any dish with pleasure, and tomorrow the child will not pay the attention to it at all.

The task of the parents is to keep calm and restraint in this situation. Of course, you can be irritated with the fact that you’ve prepared this or that dish specially for the baby, spending the money and the time on the dish; and suddenly he didn’t want to eat it, whereas before such the problems did not arise. This means that your baby explores this world and wants to feel the different tastes which are why he rejects the food he knows and requires something new.

Certainly, it is quite difficult to prepare several dishes for one feeding. This, in general, isn’t required, but if you want the babe to eat well, then try to make his diet as diverse as possible.

Many children, turning to the adult food, suddenly begin to give up some milk. Don’t force the kid at all costs to drink the daily rate of this valuable product if he doesn’t want. Otherwise, you will only disgust him with some milk for the rest of the life. Wait some days. If the child still continues to reject some milk, do not insist, and try to replace it something equivalent. The baby can like the products such as the sour milk, cheese and cottage cheese. In the end with your correct behavior, the child will ask for some milk again, and there’ll be no the aversion to this drink. The same applies to other products.
