This mother of 7 years notes some helpful tips that can assist other new mothers as they begin the daunting task of learning how and what to feed their children. For one, a new mother shouldn’t over-worry about her child’s diet. She must take the feeding process with patience and understand that her child may be resistant at first. A new mother must also take into account that the foods she eats will have an influence on the foods that her child eats. Lastly, it is important to make the feeding process enjoyable for the mother and her child.

Key Takeaways:

• The moment I became a mother, something clicked. As a breastfeeding mom, I realized that everything going into my body was being passed along to my baby in one form or another.
• I want to pass along some of my personal experiences and the lessons I’ve learned to hopefully take some of the stress out of mealtime for you and your family.
• With all the different and often competing definitions of so-called “healthy eating,” it’s no wonder so many of us struggle to make sure our children are getting what they need.
