Disclaimer:
Feeding time should be fun, which includes bath time and nap time! In my agony, I mean "research" of finding the best way to feed A KID of one year old and more there are always these tips to be considered! Although, it is advisable to seek better advises from professionals and responsible individuals rather than using any of my crazy ideas! You are again warned and reminded to use it with caution and I will not be countable to any misdoing or mistreating of an infant, child or babies of such and such! FYI, no infant, child nor babies were harm during the ongoing of this "research"!
1. Sun Tze: Attack while they're least expected!
Kids are easily distracted! Training them to say “Aaah” is the best way to open their mouth and quickly shove the food in! Make it like a game and they are more than happy to oblige!
Poet: When I say "Ahhh!!!" they go "Ahhh.." Once the food is in the trap, seconds later ends up on my face spits and all.. NEXT!
2. Feeding Loves Company.
Try feeding more than one kid, definitely will kickstart their appetite! Kids like competition and of course attention! Again it's like a game to them, who ate the most or get better applauses from their over eager enthusiast auntie (ME)!
Poet: Yeah, you need to get ready for the 2x mess they made too..NEXT!
3. The Grass is Greener on The Other Side:
Kids are forever curious of what you are eating, wearing or doing and even talking. They absorb whatever your actions are, the sounds you made and things you own! Eating is just a small part of their interest! Because they know grown-ups always gets to eat the good stuff! Eat their food and let them think they are eating your food! Smart ey!
Poet: Yeah...baby food for a month! My taste buds are falling asleep but its good enough for my diet plan! AHA! NEXT!
4. Enforcement is Motivation!
Notice that hungry kids will always come back to you for seconds, but for those who just don’t want to eat you have to tackle them and keep ‘em down! Well, it desn't look as bad as it sound. So, chase them and put that food in their tummy, Mummies!
Poet: It’s kinda barbaric but food is vital to keep their mood in check. Hungry kids are restless, meaning they won’t make nap time and bath time a cheerful experience either!
5. who’s the BOSS?
Give them food and a spoon, let ‘em think they’re in charge and while you’re at it shove in some food in their mouth with your fingers!
Poet: Is it me? I have this weird feeling that they are turning Hannibal! They won’t chew on food but rather find it addictive to bite my hands...Yeah... bite the hands that feed ya! NEXT!
6. “Good things happen when you least expected it…”
Let ‘em play with the food. Eventually, it will end up somewhere! If not all over the place, hopefully in their tummy!
Poet: It will get messy so make sure you spread out those washable sheets, plastic mat or whatever you have to minimize the cleanup! Oh yeah, be prepared to find food stuck in places you never knew it could get to! Hmm….NEXT!
7. Violence is never the answer but it surely taught you a thing or two! Strap them down and force the food in by using a syringe-minus the hypodermic needle. Blend everything into liquid base and slowly push the food down their throat!
Poet: If they are not eating right or not at all...you gotta see a pediatrician! The kid probably has mouth ulcers, sore throats or something more serious!
Attention: Before or during feeding time, DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY SWEET TREATS! NEVER!
