You may not be able to eat together every day. Try to have family meals most days of the week. Weekend breakfasts or lunches count too! If your baby is in a high chair, bring it up to the table. Talk together.

Eat meals together as a family from the start. That way, it becomes a habit.

You forgot! You learned how to point your toes.

Voice

Your baby can start learning about food and eating by watching what you do at mealtimes.

Oh yucky, yucky, yucky! Eat it up!
