Hi everyone,
I am a first-time mom and I am really concerned about my baby's eating habits. I want to make sure that she develops healthy eating habits and has a positive relationship with food. I believe that these habits are formed early in life and it's my responsibility to create a healthy environment for my baby.
At the moment, my baby is only a few months old and I am currently exclusively breastfeeding her. However, I am already starting to think about introducing solid foods when she reaches the recommended age. I want to make sure that the foods I introduce are nutritious and that I am not unknowingly contributing to her developing a sweet tooth or unhealthy eating habits.
So, I would really appreciate any tips or advice on how I can help my baby develop healthy eating habits and a positive relationship with food from the very beginning. What foods should I introduce first and how should I prepare them? What are some good habits I can start instilling from a young age? Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,
As a new parent, I am also looking for advice on developing healthy eating habits in my baby. I found the comments so far to be really helpful.
One thing that's worked for us is following a baby-led weaning approach. This approach involves introducing solid foods when your baby is ready and able to self-feed. With baby-led weaning, your baby is in control of what they eat and how much they eat, and this can help them learn to listen to their own hunger and fullness cues.
It's important to remember that this approach isn't for everyone, and it's important to do what works best for you and your baby. Regardless of the approach you choose, it's important to offer a variety of healthy foods and create a positive relationship with food.
In addition, we try as much as possible to limit processed and packaged foods, and instead opt for fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. We also make sure to eat as a family as much as possible, so that our baby can see us enjoying a variety of healthy foods and develop positive associations with mealtime.
Overall, introducing healthy foods and creating a positive mealtime environment is key to developing healthy eating habits in your baby. Just remember to be patient and flexible, as what works for one family might not work for another.
