Guiding Our Kids On Good Eating Habits

At the age of six months, your child will begin to show signs of readiness for the transition to first solid foods.

Most children have their own ways to tell you whether they are hungry or full. How you respond to these cues will help your child understand your reactions and his own expectations.

At 6 months old, your growing child will begin to need more to meet their nutritional needs.

Vegetables are one of the main food groups for your child. It is a great source of vitamins and minerals.

As your child begins to sprout teeth, they will be able to chew on small soft lumps between the gums. Your child will no longer be limited to soft velvety food.

As your child eases into a steady routine of eating times, you can begin to build good eating habits.

When your child reaches 8 months of age, your child will be able to pick up small finger foods with their improved motor skills.

Your child’s ever-increasing play time means that they could be expending more calories than they are consuming. That is when you will notice your child begins to lose weight.

As your child grows older, you will begin to notice a big difference in your child’s eating habits. At this age, it is common for children to begin eating less, while becoming selective about what they eat.
