Make sure they are sitting comfortably (no dangling feet) and are not too tired or full. Having regular intervals between meals may help.

A relaxed environment with no pressure is the best for them to explore new food and tastes. Mess is good!

Try to eat with them if you can: Role modelling is the best way for them to learn.

Food consumption varies naturally so don’t worry if they are eating “too much” or “too little” during one meal or day, looking at their food intake during a whole week is more helpful.

Repeated exposure to a wide variety is the key to preventing fussy eating and ensuring optimal nutrition. Patience does pay off!
