How to make a picky child eat??
With a question mark itself in the headline, it has been becoming a big taboo for new mommies like me to how to make such picky babies eat. Wish I could ask my baby and she could respond. HAHAHA! That's all what we ultimately desire of. But the reality is completely different. Just as a troll proves absolutely correct in the direction of new mommies "Here when mom's eyes tends to close, our little pies wakes up." LOLS!
Motherhood!, there are 'n' number of stories by 'n ' number of moms. Just as every human being is different so as our babies do. Being a over possessive mom where my mind only walks no, no, it actually runs more than a speed of metro, towards what my baby going to eat next, what shall I prepare that it tastes good to her, what was my last fault that she ignored, how shall I make her eat without making her cry, what type of surrounding shall I create for her, GOD!, I really don't want to make her cry while having food, etc, etc. and the list is endless. Despite of reading hundreds of blogs, you still fail when it actually comes to your own baby. And yes, I did fail too several times, but what I have gained in lieu of what I had lost was "EXPERIENCE".
Yes! "Experience of making a picky baby eat" My story of making my baby eat rolls around various tantrums that she throws on me along with the tiny spill outs she blows on my face. HAHAH! But yes, do we have left with any other option when it comes to their food? And the answer is a big NO! because I believe PATIENCE is the key. Being a mommy of 9 months old munchkin, struggling for about more than 3 months, I am here penning down every thick and thin of how I am now trained by my little heart. She taught me a very big thing with her small playful acts and i.e. "Mommies over possessed the things and walk wrong way."
So, then I decided to try the tricks and followed what she wants. A number of advices flooded by people sharing their patrons but what I followed was only my baby. With this I had learnt a lesson and i.e. "Listen to all but follow none".
And this was the turning point for me where I had decided to make everything happen with what my baby responds to positively. For a picky child, you don't need to be picky, instead be a tricky mom to a picky one. This is the ultimate formulae I am working upon. with this I have already made you all stand in the same position as I was standing once but it would be kind enough if my following experiences cum advices would be of any help to you all.
✓ Firstly, always try to maintain a proper gap of atleast 2 to 2 and half hours between the two meals. The basic ideology is to know the hunger of your baby so that she would respond to you in a positive way. Know the meal timings of your baby and before jumping on to the cranky stage of your baby, feed her well before that so that he/she doesn't get time to ignore the food.
✓ To second the above, babies know when to say NO, they are born smart after all. When they give you an intimation that they don't need more, please obliged. This is how they would learn to be a well mannered child from a well behaved parent at a very early stage. They really enjoy the freedom like all other human beings.
✓ Thirdly, please be patient to your baby as he/she is the best at judging your patience. There are times when babies don't like the taste of food and then neglecting the same, in this case, you should try for at least minutes, and I bet you they will develop the taste and definitely respond to you positively. Babies do obey your efforts. If you fail this time as well, don't panic, this is the time to fill his/her tummy with your own breast milk and try again after some time.
✓ Mix N Mash, Do not stereotypically feed the babies by getting the recipes from the books. Always be your own chef to your babies because it is you who knows the best for your little ones. Baby's' taste buds are more active than us. Remember that "The food beyond the breast milk/ formulae is a kind of junk food to them", So, make the food environment a party place for them.
✓ Imitation- A fun step. For e.g.: babies love to hear sounds of animals which is absolutely new to them. So, try to mimic different sounds in front of them. This way they would gradually recognize the animals also. You should know that babies are the keen learners.
✓ Never give up, My baby does not even take feeder, she don't even enjoy spoon feeding but then, I have never given up and tried with spoon & katori and now she knows that she would get like this only. And then to make herself full and satisfied, she has become habitual to it. See, it is just you and your baby's consent to one thing and also at same point of time.
✓ The most important thing that I found is to maintain a taste cycle. For e.g.: it should be a balanced routine instead of typical one, like If you have given something including milk then afterwards try for something salty and so on. And to my knowledge, try to feed the baby except milk items for not more than two times a day. It is just that we have to make the introduction of new food to their lives not to cut of f the main ingredient from their diet.
✓ Eventually, giving and maintaining the time slot for feeding your babies is the most important of everything. If you set a particular time for them, they will yearn for the food at that time only because babies become familiar with what you teach them. Yes! this will definitely take for about 4-5 days but after such 5 days, you and your baby will feel that connection for each other.
At the end I would definitely like to mention that more than above calculations, FOLLOW YOUR HEART, your techniques & your baby. It is only the mom who understands her baby solely & she only knows how to cater to her baby's needs.
That's all I have to share from my daily routine .
