Plunket clinical advisor

Look at that. See he knows!

[Laughter]

Plunket clinical advisor

What did Mummy do? You know about food.

Voice

Your baby is learning about food and developing eating habits from the time they start solids.

Plunket clinical advisor

There's Mummy's eating.

Voice

There are lots of things you can do to help your baby learn healthy eating habits right from the start. Set a good example -- your baby learns from watching you.

Plunket clinical advisor

Did you see what she was eating?

[Mealtime conversation]

Voice Eat together as a family whenever you can. It helps to turn off the TV and mobile phone. Try to keep things positive and relaxed around food. Patience works better than pressure.

[Mealtime conversation]
 

Mum

Yeah you had your principal as your teacher today.

[Mealtime conversation]

Mum

That's pretty exciting.

Voice

Give babies time to learn how to eat - it takes a lot of practice.

[Baby sounds]

Plunket clinical advisor

She's saying don't stop. I'll tell you when I want to stop!

Mum

Is that yummy?

Voice

Babies like to explore food. Let them be messy.

Mum

Oh it's about time.

Voice

Take the lead from your baby - they know when they've had enough.

[Baby sounds]

Voice 2

Do you think she's had enough?

Mum

Yeah. She's over it.

Voice

Follow a regular meal and snack schedule if you can.

Mum

Oh yucky!

从您的婴儿开始进食固体食物时开始,他们就在认识食品并培养饮食习惯。

您可以做很多事情来帮助您的婴儿从一开始就学习健康的饮食习惯。

  • 树立一个好榜样——您的婴儿通过观察你来学习
  • 只要有可能的话,就全家一起进餐——关上电视和手机会有帮助
  • 努力创造一个积极和宽松的饮食气氛——耐心要比施加压力更有效果
  • 给婴儿时间去学习如何进食——这需要很多练习
  • 婴儿们喜欢对食物进行探究——允许他们弄得一团糟乱
  • 随您婴儿来决定——他们吃饱的时候自己会知道
  • 如果可能的话,遵循有规律的吃饭和补餐时间表

您的寶寶從開始進食固體食物起就在認識食物及發展飲食習慣。

您可以在一開始即以許多方式幫助您的寶寶從小學習健康的飲食習慣。

  • 以身作則─您的寶寶由觀察中學習
  • 儘可能全家人一起吃飯─這樣有助於停止觀看電視及使用手機
  • 嘗試在用餐時維持正面而輕鬆的氣氛─耐心比壓力更有助益
  • 給寶寶時間學習如何進食─這需要更多耐心
  • 寶寶喜歡探索食物─不要怕他們弄髒

  • 如果可能,讓寶寶依照規律的正餐及點心時間表進食

아기는 유동식을 시작하는 시점부터 음식에 대해 배우고 식습관을 형성하게 됩니다.

아기가 처음부터 건강한 식습관을 배우도록 부모가 도와줄 수 있는 일이 많습니다.

  • 모범을 보입시다.  아기는 부모를 지켜보며 배웁니다.
  • 가능하다면 언제나 가족으로서 함께 식사를 합시다.  TV와 휴대폰은 꺼두면 좋습니다.
  • 식사 자리에서 긍정적인 사고와 느긋한 마음을 가집시다.  조급함보다는 끈기가 더 효과적입니다.
  • 아기가 올바른 식사법을 익힐 시간을 줍시다.  많은 연습이 필요합니다.
  • 아기는 음식을 가지고 노는 것을 좋아합니다.  지저분해지더라도 그냥 둡시다.
  • 아기의 생리적 리듬에 따릅시다.  아기는 충분히 먹었으면 더 먹지 않습니다.
  • 가능하면 규칙적인 식사와 간식을 합시다.
