Baby feeding is a highly debated topic these days. Should you use baby led weaning or feed purees? Is it better to offer fruits or vegetables first? And when should babies get their fist taste of solids? But there’s another question that isn’t asked as often: How many times should you offer your baby a food before deciding they don’t like it? Maybe this doesn’t seem like a big deal to you, but research would beg to differ.
Every holiday season parents ask me, as their child’s therapist, to give gift recommendations for their child. I struggle with this question because I truly believe there is only one answer: “Have a fun and relaxing day hugging, laughing, crying over the beautiful mess of family togetherness.” As for specific toy recommendations, I will address that in another post; but today, I wanted to share my family’s Christmas story to help you understand my perspective.
