- Gülnihal Şarman / Child and Newborn Diseases Specialist

As parents, it is your greatest hope to provide them with healthy nutrients as well as to make them eat them with appetite. 'Critical first 1000 days', which has been frequently mentioned in recent years, covers the period from the first moments of growth in the womb to the end of 2 years of age. The first 1000 days of healthy nutrition are the most important steps towards a healthy adulthood. It is from the first months that babies develop their own internal equipment for how much and when to eat. The transition to supplementary foods is a very critical period when the healthy eating habit begins. By eating new tastes of babies, seeds of nutritional habits that are reflected on their entire life are sown. According to the video recorded research, the baby who grimaced while trying a new food actually shows a surprise expression. This reaction should not be considered as a food rejection. It is extremely important to direct the feeding of babies by following their reactions. This approach is called 'sensitive feeding'. If you expect them to fall and get up while learning to walk, you should also consider them to experience some of the new nutrients in the first time, and to get them accustomed to them slowly.

Nowadays, while parents are trying not to be like their own parents treat them; On the one hand, they find it difficult to find a model to replace it with. Parents try to find a way through the information they read from the internet and books, but the lake does not keep yeast.
