Most parents want their children to eat healthy meals; to drink water and milk, eat more organic fruits and veggies, less sugar and no fizzy drinks. You want them to have a healthy understanding of food and an interest to try new foods and to continue to enjoy accepted ones. Most of all you want nutrition to be fun.
Most parents form their definition and checklist of “healthy foods” based on their own expectations and food experiences. Food rules get created; no sugar, no lollies, no preservatives, no additives or colours, and the list can go on. Before parents realise it, they have probably taken all the joy out of eating, especially healthy foods.
Teaching your child to have a mindful attitude towards food should start as early as toddlerhood. While “mindfulness” seems like a new hippy concept, your child is born an expert (if only their expertise extended to cleaning up after themselves…).
Infants and toddlers are connected to their senses; they look, feel (sometimes a little too enthusiastically), smell, and taste their food before they eat it. Children do not eat out of boredom or for emotional comfort like some adults do. The younger the child, the closer they are to truly mindful eating.
Think of the following points as strategies that may help when encouraging an attitude for mindful eating in your children so that it becomes second nature to reach for the right, nutritious things to eat.

If you are able, breastfeeding is best, as it provides the ideal nutrition for babies and has other important health benefits too. Health Professionals are well placed to provide appropriate feeding advice and support. A healthy diet during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding is important.
Introducing infant formula either partially or exclusively, may reduce the supply of breast milk. Once reduced, it is difficult to re-establish. Social and financial implications, such as preparation requirements and cost of formula until 12 months, should be considered. When using infant formula, always follow the instructions for use carefully, unnecessary or improper use may make your baby unwell.
