The more colorful the food on the plate, the healthier it is. As a parent, you want your little one to get proper nutrition day in and day out, and worry that he is not. When you get your child to eat a rainbow inspired food plate, you can rest assured he’s getting what he needs. Here’s five great tips that you can use to help you get your little one to eat up. You will appreciate these tips.

Key Takeaways:

• You want to take notice of things like when they show an explorative personality, can hold their head up and master tongue movement. Also take note of their hunger
• After your baby has gone through all the Stage 1 foods (basically everything by itself), Stage 2 is where you get to have a little bit of fun and add more colors to their diets
• An additional way to help your little one develop a more explorative palate and truly eat the rainbow all day long is to mix veggies and fruits together
