EMBED for wordpress. Want more? Advanced embedding details, examples, and help! The author, a registered dietitian and a mother of a child with Down syndrome, encourages parents to start teaching healthy habits early in their child's life, but stresses that it's never too late to start.
For example, it takes time for toddlers with Down syndrome to move the food around, swallow, and then prepare for the next bite. Watch your child and wait for him to be ready. It is important to give babies the time they need.
This positive feeding relationship helps as children get older, too. If your child knows he has the right to choose how much and whether or not he eats something, he begins to understand how to listen to his body cues. Understanding your role in the feeding relationship also helps keep you from becoming a short-order cook. But if you ensure that there is something available to your child, then he will choose to eat that and get at least some calories.
Later, he can make snack choices to round out the meal. I think we often lose sight of the joy of food and activity.
