As soon as the baby ate, the soldiers were in chaos. Either chase after the ass, or hold the mobile phone in front of the coaxing, it can be said that in order to let the baby eat a few more bites of food, it is almost thirty-six meters.
In fact, if you want to make your baby eat by yourself, you only need to do the following points:
How big can I eat on my own?
In order to stimulate your baby's interest in eating and master eating skills, 7-9 months old is the best time to train your baby to eat independently. Letting this month-old baby eat on their own is conducive to exercising the fine movement of the fingers and eye coordination.
This month-old baby is mainly the training of the fingers, we can prepare some finger food, we can cut the food into the baby easy to grasp the shape, such as long strips, lumps. Place these foods on a food supplement plate and let your baby grab it and eat it.
Babies of this month have teething and some have not yet. If the baby has not yet teethed, when we prepare food for the baby, we should choose a relatively soft texture, so that the baby will not hurt the gums when chewing.
If your baby's chewing ability is relatively improved after teething, you can prepare some chewy foods, such as small pieces of bread, biscuits, bananas, mangoes, kiwi fruits and so on.
As you age, your baby's finger exercises become more flexible, and from about September to December, you can let your baby use spoons, forks and other tools. But don't force your baby to use it, this stage is mainly to familiarize them with these eating tools.
When the baby uses the tool, you can start with the fork, when the baby clips the food by himself, the parents should be patient, do not see the baby can not pick up the food to interfere with him, because only by letting the baby do it himself, can stimulate the baby's love for food.
Choose the right cutlery
Starting from adding complementary foods to your baby, you should have your own special tableware. When the baby first starts to use the spoon, the ordinary straight-handled spoon may not be easy to grasp, we can choose the baby's special bending training spoon, and when the baby is older, you can use the short-handled training spoon.
When choosing tableware, you can choose the pattern he likes according to the baby's preferences, so that the baby can see his favorite tableware and the enthusiasm for eating will be higher.
Insist on eating at the table
Starting from eating complementary foods, whether the baby wants to eat this meal or not, when it comes to the meal, it is necessary to put the baby at the table and let him sit with the adult, mainly to let the baby feel the atmosphere of the family eating.
When the baby sits with us, even if the baby is full, he should put some food on his food plate, this sense of ceremony will make the baby slowly understand, as long as the adult brings the meal up, he should go to the table to prepare for the meal.
Be patient, let go and let the baby eat on his own, not afraid of getting dirty
When your baby first starts eating, he will definitely encounter many difficulties, such as eating all over the body, all over the ground, and the table is full of rice grains, and he may not eat anything. Seeing such a situation, parents should not be in a hurry, do not be afraid of trouble, do not give up directly, and do not directly pick up food to feed them.
It is normal for such a situation to occur, which is the process of learning and enjoying the baby's meal. We should encourage him on the side, tell the baby how to get food, let the baby try, and the baby will slowly master the skills of eating in learning.
Do not force or reward your baby to eat
Babies sometimes have a bad appetite and don't want to eat, and parents should not be in a hurry. Sometimes we eat too much at this meal, and when we get to the next meal, our appetite may not be good and we don't want to eat. If such a situation is only two or three days, don't worry too much, as long as you appropriately reduce the amount of food and milk.
After the meal, you can take the baby out to play for a while, the amount of exercise is large, and the consumption will be relatively large. If you stay at home all day watching TV and don't exercise, it is normal to eat a small amount.
When the baby does not eat, we are best not to force, when the baby has emotions, it will feel that eating is not a happy thing, so as to resist eating more.
When the baby does not eat, we should not use some rewards to tempt the baby to eat, when you use the reward to let the baby eat, the nature of the meal changes. The baby will feel that eating is not what he should do, but will feel that as long as he does not eat, he can get what he wants, from eating as a conditional transaction.
Control your baby's meal time
The baby eats on its own early, it will take longer than feeding, this process parents should pay attention to control the time, if you find that the baby began to look east, west, in the play plate of food, no longer put food into the mouth, then it will end the meal.
Of course, the baby's self-feeding time may be longer than you expect, but please don't be discouraged and wait patiently for the baby to grow.
