When the baby is not gaining weight...

The author's theory is simple: your job as a parent is to offer good and nutritious food to the child. The child's job is to eat. You can't do anything more than offer the food. You can't force or bribe the child. It is important to share normal meals with children and she warns about the perils of cooking for the child. We have been trying to follow those rules by having diner all together, and it seems to work. It is hard not to congratulate Max on each thing he tries, or tonot  push him to have just another bite, but once it becomes an habit, it makes meals much more enjoyable. I also suspect that since we are less stressed around food, Max eats more.
