Feeding the 2 year old baby

The baby's teething must be complete between 2 ½ years and 3 years of age, when it should have a total of 20 baby teeth. At this stage, the child is already able to eat all kinds of food and the risk of developing food allergy is less, and it is also the phase of removing the habit of pacifiers and bottles.

The ability to eat alone is improved, and the child can use a thick-toothed spoon or fork to avoid injury. In addition, it is important to avoid foods rich in fats and sugars, such as sweets, chocolates, ice cream and fried foods, and it is not recommended to add sugar to the juices.

To develop good eating behavior, one must vary the dishes and offer different types of food, avoiding making pleasures, fighting or threatening punishment at mealtime.

Shake a glass with ice cubes and ask her to pay attention to the noise; Open and close a book tightly, asking for attention to the sound it makes; Shake a bell while she pays attention.

After she hears the sounds, the three games should be repeated without the child seeing which object is used, so that she can guess what is causing the noise.
