When your baby\u2019s about six months old, you\u2019ll start weaning them off milk and onto a\u00a0more varied diet, which means new sources of nutrients for them. Ready for the\u00a0challenge? Take note of these handy hints:<\/p>\n

Get them used to new food. <\/span><\/h5>\n

You can start adding a couple of spoonfuls of pureed\u00a0solid food to one of their meals. Don\u2019t worry if they aren\u2019t interested, but let them\u00a0experience the new smells and textures.<\/p>\n

Start with one solid meal a day. <\/span><\/h5>\n

Later you can build up to two and three when they\u2019re\u00a0about eight months old. Start off with purees, followed by blended food and finally small\u00a0pieces that they can pick up with their hands and are easy to chew and swallow, such\u00a0as peeled, ripe, seedless fruit, small bits of well-cooked pasta, cubes of fresh cheese or\u00a0very soft vegetables.<\/p>\n

A new food every five days. <\/span><\/h5>\n

It\u2019s important to introduce new foods one by one to give\u00a0yourself enough time to detect any allergies or intolerances. Let them get used to the\u00a0novelty, watch how they react, and on with the next one!<\/p>\n

Balance out their nutrients.<\/span><\/h5>\n

Once they\u2019ve got used to their new diet and are eating\u00a0solid food three times a day, start to pay attention to where they\u2019re getting their\u00a0nutrients from. Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s not rocket science: just make sure they\u2019re eating\u00a0something from different food groups throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t force or bribe them. <\/span><\/h5>\n

At this growth phase, babies and toddlers should be\u00a0beginning to control their appetite and to know when they\u2019re full. If they don\u2019t want any\u00a0more, don\u2019t make them eat up everything on their plate, or else they\u2019ll end up seeing\u00a0food as a punishment. Don\u2019t reward them with food either, though.<\/p>\n

Tasty food. <\/span><\/h5>\n

Very important. Kids aren\u2019t stupid. Like you, they like tasty homemade\u00a0food lovingly made using fresh ingredients. If you sit them down to the same food every\u00a0day, they\u2019ll soon get bored with it.<\/p>\n

Let them experiment. <\/span><\/h5>\n

Food isn\u2019t a game, but for kids it\u2019s a new experience that will\u00a0shape the way they approach eating for the rest of their life. Let them pick up food to\u00a0experience different textures as well as different flavours, let them mash up their food\u00a0with a spoon, and let them try something the grownups are eating too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
