There are many people who might consider themselves experts in feeding babies and young children. These may include grandparents, parents-in-law, friends of the family, friends, workmates, brothers and sisters who have had a baby. Whilst valuable, advice from all angles often makes feeding young children more complicated and confusing than should be. It’s important to recognise that while there are general guidelines to help new parents, all babies and young children are individuals with their own rates of growth, activity and development that may influence their appetite and food preference. A wide variety of nutritious food is an important health message.  Parents can help their children learn to enjoy different foods through these simple tips:

Try to enjoy a wide variety of nutritious foods yourself, particularly fruits and vegetables.  Children who see their parents enjoying food are more likely to learn to enjoy these foods too. When you are serving a new food, or a food that is usually rejected, try to serve it with foods you know your child will enjoy. It can take up to 10 times for a child to try ‘new’ foods.

Try not to comment on foods not eaten or tried.  Remember, it is the child’s responsibility to decide whether to eat and how much to eat.

Talk to your child during mealtimes about events going on in your lives
