Biting, chewing, swallowing & bringing food up to Biting, chewing, swallowing & bringing food up to our mouths in our hands or on utensils IS IMPOSSIBLE without adequate trunk stability. Babies just learning to eat need more core stability than older toddlers, but what they all need a footrest, even school age kids! ➡️Swipe to see a baby just learning to eat and her big sister in the same chair. For all my favorite chairs, shop Amazon via the #linkinmybio 💕Wondering who these two sisters are? Check out my friend Dani @kid.food.explorers – those are her little munchbugs! #melaniepotock
“He is a pro at sitting in his chair and feeding “He is a pro at sitting in his chair and feeding is sooooo much easier now. Thank you again & again!”💕That’s the message I got from a follower this morning…we were chatting and I suggested “grippy” socks for her babe. You know, the ones with the cute little rubbery dots on the bottom so baby has a bit of grip on the floor as he toddles about? 🧦 Those socks provide extra stability in the highchair too. 🦶🏼Footrest are important, but they can be slippery, especially with bare feet. The socks provide anti-slip grip – and it’s even better if you add some spongy shelf liner wrapped around the footrest or anti-slip bath stickers. 🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻And look at the difference it made for her little guy! 💕And…he’s so cute. I mean seriously, send me all the cute baby pictures! LOVE! #melaniepotock
So, you’ve introduced the open cup but your todd So, you’ve introduced the open cup but your toddler has discovered GRAVITY. 😳Happens to the best of us – it’s going to be ok! 💦Grab some paper towels and follow my 3 C’s. 🧘Stay calm. Respond in a concise manner – just state the facts. 👉🏼Parent consistently and get all the adults on board too! Consistency is key when it comes to establishing positive behaviors in kids. 💜Most of all – remember to join in on the fun when it is an appropriate time and place, like bathtime! Kids just want attention and that’s the time to reinforce their delight in pouring, splashing & discovering all the fun things that we can do with cups! 👉🏼But when we are not in the bath, cups are for drinking. 😊 ✨This is just one part of my course, Bye-bye Bottles! Weaning kids off the bottle includes addressing behaviors like this - typical kid behavior but still, knowing how to address it can make life so much easier!
