Help For Picky Eaters

One thing I have strived to do as a Mom is instill good eating habits in Hailey.

Suddenly Picky? (Tips for Your Miniature Food Critic)

Mushy Food Makes Picky Eaters

Here in America at least, many moms are told to start feeding solids (and by solids I mean that mushy stuff in a jar or rice cereal) around 4 to 6 months. Then we spoon feed them until they finish the jar or ‘eat a good meal.’ We fret if they don’t eat and we fret even more if they at a whole jar yesterday and only want two bites today. However, advice may be changing as UNICEF and others start to talk … Continue reading →
