As your baby is getting older, he is starting to pay more and more attention to what you eat and drink. Parents and family are a child’s biggest eating role models, so it’s important for you to eat and serve the same healthy foods and beverages you want him to eat and drink. Not only are you showing your baby what healthy eating looks like, but you’re also helping prevent temper tantrums.
Think of it this way: If Mom, Dad and sister are all eating the same healthy foods as your toddler, he won’t be distracted by a food or drink he can’t have. If Mom, Dad or sister has something off limits that your toddler wants (like candy), now that’s a different story…one that usually ends in tears.
