Feeding is a vital, not negotiable, process to omit in the daily routine of any live organism. This process challenges infants, toddlers, and young kids at each stage.
The key to success in this process is that it needs to be an enjoyable and gratifying experience. Our infants’ eating process has particular needs throughout the first year of life.
Our one to two-year-olds move rapidly in another type of needs in their eating process and patterns. Then, our three-year-olds and up challenge themselves to learn more about the eating process and independence within this approach that will carry them to adulthood with good eating habits.
Even though this feeding process is essential, it can also be challenging for some of our babies. Some of these challenges can cause a lot of frustration among parents or caregivers.
Even more, the health and growth process of the child can be impacted. Reaching out to the nutritionist or the pediatrician for good and valuable information about this topic is important.
Once you get the information, it is vital to practice and implement what was thought by this professional, and if it does not work, please do not stop asking for more assistance.
Topics that should be discussed with the professional on the feeding process
– Breastfeeding
– Bottle feeding
– G-Tube feeding
– When to start semisolid, solid food?
– Baby, let winning
– How early should we start eating and using utensils?

There are a lot of questions about how to help our babies, and each parent or caregiver has different challenges.
Some of them have babies with swallowing difficulties and need to use a gastro tube; Others have babies that are not gaining weight, don’t want to eat, do not understand how to suck their mom’s breast, etc.
As we mentioned above, we recommend always having a pediatrician and nutritionist on the doctor’s list who can guide you and give you strategies to overcome the challenges.
