什麽都愛吃的健康寶寶撫養法
我最喜歡討論“吃”這個話題了。同時餵兩個寶寶吃東西不是一件容易的事。所以如果您想要讓自己的生活更輕鬆的話，就不得不在家裡製造一個又安全又對 兒童友好的飲食環境，培養他們對愛吃飯和愛餵自己吃飯的習慣。不用我說，您也應該想象得出，一開始一定會亂七八糟的。這時，您需要的是耐心。只要他們一上手，您肯定會被寶寶們的潛能給嚇到！
在我購買的嬰兒產品當中，我最喜歡的是我的斷奶桌椅。桌子差不多24平方英尺，還有兩個大小適合兒童的椅子。桌椅的尺寸非常重要。雖然我的桌椅是在Michael Olaf購買的，您也可請個木匠幫您量身製作一個（請隨時通過電郵向我要尺寸！）。我差不多花了150元美金在桌子上，椅子各100元美金左右。因爲是木制的，桌椅都非常堅固，也很重，所以寶寶不容易移動桌椅。這能夠確保寶寶的安全。如果您的孩子是大力士的話，您也可以在桌椅下加上鐵板，增加它們的重量。
斷奶桌椅
椅子扶手的高度要剛好適合小孩子。
寶寶5到6個月大，剛開始吃斷奶餐的時候就可以讓他坐在斷奶桌椅裡了。如果他們還無法自已坐穩，可以放一些小枕頭從後面跟側邊支撐他們。圖片裡的B和M有7個月大。看得到我們放在旁邊來扶住他們的小枕頭嗎？
這時，您也會需要到兒童尺寸的湯匙，淺碟子，和很小的玻璃杯。千萬不要給她們塑膠餐具！您的孩子正在吸收關於這個世界的所有訊息，所以一定要給他們世界上最好的湯匙，最真實的碗碟和玻璃杯等。玻璃和銀器都有很獨特的感觸和重量。塑膠呢？又輕又滑，一點實際感都沒有！讓您的孩子從小就享受吃飯的真正樂趣吧。
很多家長認爲，寶寶要一定從奶瓶開始，然後才可以慢慢地介紹鴨嘴杯，塑膠杯，玻璃杯等餐具給他們。爲什麽不跳過中間的所有步驟，直接給他們玻璃杯呢？
玻璃製的小玻璃杯（是酒杯來的）和小水壺。可透視的小水壺會更好，因爲孩子們可以看到小水壺裡還剩多少水。
碗碟要淺，不然他們會看不到裡面的東西。太高的碗會擋住他們的視線。

Environment, then foster their love for eating AND their love to feed themselves, then your job as mom will be much easier. You will need patience because in the beginning it will be a mess. It really will be. But once they get the hang of it, you will be amazed at what your children are capable of
Your post is wonderful. My girl is just 7 months old now too. I've been introducing glassware cup too since like 6 months, but I feed the water to her mouth actually, as I saw she uses her pincer grasp to grasp the mouth of the cup instead of holding the cup from the roundside of it. With the milk bottle she would do it okay with both her hands holding it. Can I get some insight from you that how I should assist her learn hold the cup with both of her hands like holding the bottle? Thank you so much!
Hi!
I’m setting up our home with Montessori-inspired areas for our 11 month old. Would you be able to share with me the dimensions of your weaning table and chair. Also, do you have an idea of what age children will outgrow it?
Thank you!
Sasha
Hi Sasha, If you take a look at my friend Jeanne-Marie’s website http://www.voilamontessori.com/en/resources/downloads/, you’ll see the dimensions of the weaning table and chair. I bought mine from Michael Olaf, which you can search for online. Believe it or not, my children still use that table today, and they are 2 months away from turning 4-years-old. They don’t eat there because they are too tall for it, but they still use it as a baking/prepping table almost everyday…
Hi Stephanie,
I bumped into your post and watch some of the videos you posted of your twins. Let me start by saying I’m extremely impressed by how good they are at helping themselves at mealtime. My son is 18 months and I wish he would be willing to do some of the stuff that your twins did. Bravo!!
I would like to ask for your opinion on some of the things you discussed in your post.
1. I’m looking for a small set of table and chair for my son. I am choosing between the Michael Olaf First Chair or Slatted Chair. Do you think a toddle will outgrow the First Chair pretty quickly? Should I just skip the First Chair and go right for the Slatted Chair since my son’s already 18 months?
2. For drinking glass, I do want to use glass. But am afraid that my son will throw stuff and break them. Does your kids do that at all? And for dishes, does Corelle really doesn’t break easily, would it withstand a little bit of throwing around by a toddler?
Thanks!!

Hello,
I wish I’ve come across your blog much earleir. My twins are now 2.5 yr Olds and they are still very picky eaters. The only thing they consume consistently is milk.
Do you perhaps have any recommendations on making them eat more variety?
Much thanks!!
Great post! I started my 2.5yr old on glassware about a month ago. It’s really made a difference in how careful he is. I now have a 5mth old and would like to get a weaning table/chair made. Could you please send me dimensions please? Greatly appreciated!!
