MOST COMMON MISTAKES DONE DURING TRANSITION TO COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING

  • Not allowing the child to participate in eating (he will get dirty, it will spill around, he is playing, etc.)
  • Giving up quickly (introducing the food 1-2 times and not try again if he didn`t eat it before )
  • Being preconceived (he won`t like it, it doesn`t taste good..)
  • Not offering variety/alternative of foods
  • Always serving the food as a mixture, not allowing him to get used to taste of foods one by one.
  • Conflict during meals, putting pressure on the child to eat more
