How does one start giving baby the first spoon?


Before you give the first spoonful, keep in mind that it is a brand new experience for your baby, in fact a strange one! Both baby and mother should be sitting comfortably. Start when baby is hungry but not very hungry. It can be time-consuming in the beginning and sometimes every session can take up a lot of your time – be patient and don't give up. Give your baby your undivided attention and use encouraging words to get her to eat. Start with small serving sizes of one to two teaspoons and offer more only if baby shows interest. Never force feed, especially if baby is refusing the food. Try again the next day.
