Feeding Time

As our baby got a little bigger, she could join us at the table in her high chair. Of course when we were hungry, sometimes she wasnt hungry, so getting her to eat was a major problem. Usually it wasnt a problem, but the way I overcame the problem of getting her eat, was to put exactly on my spoon what was on her spoon, and we would eat it together.

Baby's and little ones spend their early lives as 'monkey see, monkey do'. So I learnt to use both hands to eat, one for me and one for her, raising both hands at the same time, one to my mouth and one to her mouth.

Most of the time it worked, she just followed me and ate what I ate, at the moment I was eating. It made life a little easier, as if she ate especially at just before going to bed, it made her night's sleep better, and that was good for all of us.

I wrote a book about my first year as a new Dad. It's called 'My First Year as a Dad'. You can find it at :
