Forewarning that can save you
worry: your baby's appetite will
probably decrease during two periods
around the middle of his first year, and
the beginning of the second. His little
body has been growing bigger so fast
you can hardly believe it, but about
midyear and first birthday the growth
rate slows down and less food is needed .
Not-hungry times may also be
caused by teething, fatigue, too much
excitement, an illness coming or going.
' When a toddler turns against food, per
haps a new baby in the family is getting
too much attention. If appetite doesn't
pick up, check with your doctor.
What's your cue when your healthy
baby's appetite lags? Try serving
smaller portions a heaping helping is
a' discouraging sight to an unhungry
person. Serve baby's favorite foods
often, and if he spurns favorites (some
times he will!) it's easy to offer sub
stitutes you can choose from over 100
nutritious Heinz Baby Foods. It's a
reassuring fact if he hasn't been
coaxed and urged, your little one will
eat more when his body needs more.
