Feeding Problems?
I’m glad to say we have none. The photo here is enough proof that our child has a hearty apetite. He’s not choosy eaither. He eats everything we put in his plate and we’re proud to say that it includes veggies too.
He also showed interest in feeding himself with a spoon so we let him practice. We received a kiddie plate with suction at the bottom and he uses that. We find it very convenient as the plate cannot be moved by a child and thus avoiding uncessary mess. Well, he uses the spoon to feed himself and occasionally picks bits and pieces of food with his hands. I think this is a good practice for him to be able to eat na hindi sinusubuan eventually. Initially we are quite reluctant to try because of the possible mess he can make. But one book suggested to put newspapers underneath the high chair so that cleaning will be a lot easier. You just have to fold the newspapers and throw them away. Pretty neat idea so we tried. We’re glad we did because our fears are unfounded. He’s not a messy eater afterall. 
We also try to shy him away from junk foods, chocolates, fast food and the like. So we try to set a good example by not consuming those at home. I say try because there are times that we crave for soda and junk foods. We give in to those cravings sometimes but we don’t show him we’re eating those. hahaha! I know it will get harder once he gets older. :p
M0rn1ng and i hope he continues to eat well. Afterall, eating right are one of the keys to good health.

hi nice, i so agree! i’d like to be able to train my miguel to eat well too when the right time comes…and there’s the word constructive mess naman daw, so ok lang when kids mess up a bit, we just need to be patient and to offer help
hi nice!
i hope my Olin too will not be a picky eater.. esp veggies. congrats for having a marvelous eater kiddo! 
yes Issa! let them get dirty at times.
it will hamper their learning if we don’t give them a chance. Thanks for the visit. 
She won’t be kathy. basta sanayin mo lang kumain ng dapat nya kainin.
it’s the same with Lianne, she knows it’s bad to drink soda and eat too much chocolate and chips.. hehehe ang rason ni mommy.. “i don’t eat yucky foods” lol of course I hide when I eat chocolate and chips.
*bad mommy*
hi Nice! it’s good hindi mapili si B.Boy sa food. And about the junk food, soda and the like, it’s good na habang bata pa natrain sya. Like my Migs, since hindi kami mahilig sa junk food and I cut drinking soda when I have a baby, hindi sya talaga nsanay to eat those food….. what I can suggest, try giving him fresh juice. Migs loves to drink apple juice almost everyday…
I’m sure your B.Boy would love it too…
hahaha! Amore we are so alike. Pero ang hirap i-avoid nyang soda for me. I love drinking coke kasi. Pero i have to discipline myself for B.boy and my own good.
Hi Caryl! That’s a good suggestion. I’ll give that a try. Thank you so much.
wow buti ka pa. si Alex still can’t eat a full meal. pero mahilig sya sa rice without ulam. lol! kme din nagtatago when eating junk foods. pero now i allot kahit once a week of “junk food day”.
