During infancy their ;;;d is supervised by the doctor i,ut Lv the time the baby is given ,is meals at the family table we are apt to forget he is still a baby and that much of the family food is not suitable. He is growing rapidly rap-idly and needs the foods which will supply his requirements. There seems to be an irresistible tM -e to give a baby bites or tastes f,:,n the family meal. We enjoy the surprise he shows when he first tastes something different. Father nav want to think his boy is a -most a big boy and can have steak and pie. It may be offered to him as a reward for drinking his milk or eating his egg or carrots. You reward him with something which ! is not suitable, which he uoesnt need or want and thus make the undeniable food something special I f,nd more to be desired than his I i-m!ar food. We have the same I attitude about giving candy to a child, offering it as something more choice and to be coveted, superior su-perior to his regular food. The canned chopped foods tor toddlers will solve the problem of what your young child can have for his meal when the family food is fried or highly seasoned or the I dessert is pastry or a rich pud- I lmg- , , , ! If children are adequately nour-I nour-I ished and have plenty of fruits 1 and simple custards, gelatine and other desserts they will not crave weets. Care and thought are-worthwhile are-worthwhile all during the growing years, in order to insure healthy children with good, sound teeth. |
