Ngā karere matua

He maha ngā mea ka taea e koe te āwhina i tō pēpi ki te ako i ngā tikanga kai hauora mai i te tīmatanga.

Āwhinatia tō pēpi kia pārekareka ai ki te kai

Āwhinatia tō pēpi ki te ako mō te kai mā te haututū me ana kai.

Tukuna tō pēpi kia whiriwhiri kia hia te rahi o ana kai

Mā tō pēpi koe e tohu mō te kaha o tana hiakai.

Me whai i tētahi raupapa kai auau, paramanawa hoki

Me whakarite mō ngā kai e 3 me ngā paramanawa 1, 2 rānei i te rā, ina kai ana tō pēpi i ngā kai rerekē, tātangi rerekē rānei.

Me kai tahi te whānau ina taea ana

Me pau he paku werawera ki te whakahuihui mai i te whānau mō te kai. Engari he hua kei roto, ā, he pai ake te kai a te whānau.

Kia pai ō tauira

Ka ako tō pēpi mō te kai mā te mātakitaki i a koe.
