If someone asks me what my children are most proud of, I will undoubtedly answer: "Children have a very good attitude towards eating. 」

What's good about Zaizai's eating attitude?

1. He likes eating. He doesn't need feeding. He can sit still and finish his meal without leaving to play or walk. He can't hold rice. (Including rice means that some children will keep light rice in their mouths for a long time and refuse to swallow it) 5. He will concentrate on eating and doesn't need any toys or entertainment to coax him into eating. 6. After dinner, he will clean up and let adults know that he is full. Usually because he wants to leave the table, he will make all the preparations.

I once read an article circulating on Facebook, saying that if you look at a child's eating attitude, you can see whether the parents' education is successful or not. I quite agree that a child's eating ability and attitude depend on his parents' educational methods. Since Zaizai is 1 1 month old, everyone will stare at him when he eats. Why can a child less than 1 year-old always eat with a spoon without feeding at all?

To be honest, I haven't fed my son since he started eating solid food at the age of six months. He always tries to eat the food in front of him. He has loved eating since he was a child. Just because I never send food to his mouth, he will fight for it himself and get satisfaction from eating.

Many people ask me how to teach my son to eat so well. When I tell them the method I use, some people will think I am nervous, some people will not understand, and very few people will really try to understand my painstaking efforts.

Let me start with how Zaizai started eating solid food!

I bet Zaizai likes it very much. It never occurred to me that he would have trouble eating solid food. Both his father and I like food very much. How can zaizai hate food? And he drinks breast milk very well, neither fat nor thin. But things are not so happy.

Son, don't say "paste" (non-staple food), even the juice can't get in! Every time I put the spoon to my mouth, he pushes it away, which is really sad. I thought, doesn't he like the food I prepared for him? (Actually, it's all rice paste, avocado puree, banana puree, etc. Can ordinary people eat it? After trying for three days without any progress, I came across this book in the bookstore.

Baby-led weaning (BLW) is to let the baby dominate his favorite food. Do not paste (non-staple food), eat adult food directly. After reading this book, I finally understand what Zaizai thinks!

Zaizai has eaten by himself since he was a child. Four months old, if you want to take your own bottle and drink your mother's milk, you will automatically drink it spontaneously. He never needs anyone to feed him. Now that he can eat by himself, why did he suddenly lose his dominant position when he switched to solid food and be fed by adults? His resistance became very reasonable. I tried to let Zaizai eat his own food, put the food in front of him and let him eat it himself. Sure enough, he began to eat. And it's a very big mouth, and then bite it down.

The advantage of BLW is that it allows the kids to take the initiative to eat, thus building confidence and understanding of food. Only children who are not forced to eat by adults can enjoy eating. They can know different shapes, textures, tastes and tastes. If you eat mushy food every day, it's no fun at all. And every time someone feeds me, my hands become idle.

Every time Zaizai picks up food by himself, it is the best time to train his hand-eye coordination. I can proudly say that Zaizai's hand-eye coordination is very good. The first time he picked up a banana, he could put it in his mouth accurately. He will also pick up food in different ways. Generally speaking, he must put food in his mouth before giving up! For example, avocado (editor's note: Taiwan Province province called avocado) is slippery and difficult to pick up. Therefore, Cai tried his best to import avocados. I found that my fingers were not good, so I pushed avocado into my mouth with my arm. That scene is really cute! Zaizai solved this problem by himself!

There are countless benefits of BLW, and another advantage is that it can train oral muscles. The headmaster of a kindergarten told me that children should eat "real food" instead of paste. Many children in modern times have abnormal oral muscle development due to long-term consumption of ointment, and then their speech ability is low, so they need speech therapy. I'm sure my mouth muscles won't be too bad when he eats these "real dishes"!

Of course, BLW also has hidden concerns, that is, the danger of suffocation. How can I eat such a big food? At first, I didn't think about letting Cai eat for herself because of this, but after reading this book, I am confident that Cai is ready.

First, babies drink breast milk until they are six months old. Many babies want to eat paste because they started eating solid food six months ago. The chewing ability of the mouth is not yet mature and needs to be pasted. And zai zai's chewing ability is enough. Secondly, the neck support is enough, so there is no need to eat lying down (lying down to eat anything is dangerous! Thirdly, Zaizai knows how to control his appetite.

The book BLW clearly explains that the risk of suffocation in BLW is actually lower than that of spoon feeding, because children in BLW learn to chew before learning how to swallow food. On the contrary, children fed with spoons learn to swallow and then chew. Of course, what we let our children eat should be handled carefully to avoid choking. For example, food should not be as big as dice, nor should it be too hard. Things like peanuts are very dangerous and can't be given to children.

At first, Zaizai had a choking reaction, which was called gag. To be honest, I was a little surprised when I first met Gag, but I believe Gag can learn and then spit out what is stuck in his throat. Knowing to be careful of the choking crisis, I learned the first aid of choking in advance. I strongly recommend that you read first aid. In case of an accident, we can minimize the crisis. Even if you don't attend the first aid course, you can download how to give first aid to your son on Youtube.

Children's learning ability can never be ignored. Gag learned it twice and then spit out what he couldn't swallow. Since then, I have more confidence in Zaizai. He won't swallow anything casually.

Although many people dare not agree with this practice, I also think BLW is not suitable for every child. After observing the growth of Zaizai and analyzing various advantages and disadvantages, I adopted this method. If you are interested in this method, you must read this book before you try it.

From then on, all three of us were very happy when we ate. When Zaizai has dinner with us, he can enjoy family happiness with us without being fed by others. It's priceless to watch him eat different foods and react differently!

When Zaizai was about 1 1 month old, he began to scoop food from the bowl and put it in his mouth by himself. Everyone was surprised to see such a small child eating with a spoon by himself. Everyone thinks that Zaizai is very powerful. If you look at what I posted before, you can know how Zaizai eats.

Many people around me asked me how to teach my son. In fact, I didn't specifically "teach", but provided him with the opportunity and environment to try. To learn to eat, first of all, you should not be afraid that he will get something dirty. If you want him to study, you should let him try to fail. Dirty clothes, dirty countertops and dirty underground are inevitable, but after repeated practice, he will gradually become less dirty.

My idea is not to raise a child prodigy, but to raise a confident and independent person. Watching Zaizai eat happily, I know that Zaizai has established an indispensable sense of self-confidence and success from the process of eating alone. With self-confidence and success, you will naturally grow up happily.

Instead of letting Zaizai learn how to distinguish colors, how to speak as soon as possible, and so on? Let him learn that eating alone is more fulfilling and beneficial. I don't know how to teach my son, although many people look at him strangely all the way and are disturbed by my elders. But my persistence paid off. No one dares to challenge my education when everyone is watching the boy who is less than 1 1 month old sit down and eat by himself!

Many people think that children should be fed by adults until they are over 1 year old. It turns out that children will eat by themselves as soon as they are born, and no one needs to feed them. Zaizai is a very successful example! Playful chaos authorized to reprint the original source. Children's dietary attitude = parents' education? !
