I would like to share some secret tips that may help you feed your little ones easily. The tips I am sharing with you will help you get your child to eat without him throwing tantrums and being fussy. So here we go.
* Your child’s breakfast should always be his favourite. As parents, you will know what your child likes the most and make a list of all the food items that he likes and serve 1 item daily. Try to serve his favourite breakfast – this will make your child’s mornings happier. For instance, you can include a wide range of fruits, homemade snacks like ragi cookies, wheat namkeen, healthy dairy products, pancakes, biscuits and Greek yoghurt in his breakfast. You can make pancakes with ragi floor and jaggery powder or honey syrup with nuts, different cheela like moong dal cheela with vegetables, different types of dosa like vegetable dosa, cheese dosa, chocolate dosa, etc.
* Once your child has his breakfast, make sure that he has his next meal should be as per your choice. This way your child will get into the habit of eating everything (even if he doesn’t like it). Also, there should be a gap of 2 to 3 hours between two meals.
* Get your child into the habit of eating on his own. Let him eat his favourite food items by himself and feed him only when you want to introduce some specific foods. Let your child try different food items and experience different tastes all varieties of food that you consume. This will help you understand his taste and preferences, which will then help you to understand what kinds of foods he likes and prepare a food chart for him.
* Observe your child’s schedule and try to understand when he is extremely hungry. Once you get to know then please maintain that gap of hours between two meals. Let your child feel hungry then offer food. This will make easier to feed your child.
