To feed the fussy and picky babies, things can be tricky. Here is some tips to do this the easy way:
1. Snack: If you are dealing with a baby as picky as my little girl, let them nibble. Do not expect your kid to eat all of the three meals every single day. Sometimes just let them snack on the healthy finger food through the day.
2. Do not push it: When your baby does not want anymore, let them leave. Otherwise your baby will end up crying, upset, and it make other meal times hard and picky.
3. Allow the baby to be independent: Let your baby eat on their own as soon as they can hold, even if it is messy. Prepare food that sticks to the spoon easily. Poor ones, sometime trying so hard to spoon their meal and it is just not happening.:o) I know the mess they make can be very frustrating sometimes, but totally worthy to watch. The messier their faces the funnier it is. Take a photo, it will bring some good memories later on.
4. Have a family meal together: Keep a happy family time at the table. Talk to your baby, praise them. Babies gladly will try food that you offer when everyone is eating. If not, give a friendly smile.
5. Keep trying: Fussiness is temporary. Continue to offer a wide variety of healthy foods and everything will settle down eventually.
6. Don’t be a chicken: If you want your kids to have good habits in eating veggies, show them that you do. Eat your vegetables at meal-time together. Talk to your toddler about how yummy those veggies they are eating are.
7. Hide vegetables: If your kid refuses to eat some fruit or vegetable, hide it in the food you are preparing. Bake muffins with vegetables, carrots, pumpkin or even broccoli. Add carrots or even tomato in the smoothies along with the fruits. You can puree broccoli, cauliflower and carrots and add the mixture to spaghetti sauce.
8. No overloading: Never overload their plate. Keep it simple and colorful. Let your little one ask for more.
