How will I Know When My Baby’s had Enough?
Most babies know when they’ve had enough to eat so you don’t need to persuade them to take more food than they want. It doesn’t really matter how much they eat. The important thing is to get them to try lots of different foods.
Give your baby plenty of attention, chat and enjoy meals together and don’t pressure them when they refuse food. Babies are telling you they’ve had enough when they:
- turn their head away,
- keep their mouth shut,
- push the bowl or plate away or on to the floor,
- scream or shout,
- keep spitting food out, or
- hold food in their mouth and refuse to swallow it.
