什么都爱吃的健康宝宝抚养法
我最喜欢讨论“吃”这个话题了。同时喂两个宝宝吃东西不是一件容易的事。所以如果您想要让自己的生活更轻松的话，就不得不在家里制造一个又安全又对 儿童友好的饮食环境，培养他们对爱吃饭和爱喂自己吃饭的习惯。不用我说，您也应该想象得出，一开始一定会乱七八糟的。这时，您需要的是耐心。只要他们一上手，您肯定会被宝宝们的潜能给吓到！
在我购买的婴儿产品当中，我最喜欢的是我的断奶桌椅。桌子差不多24平方英尺，还有两个大小适合儿童的椅子。桌椅的尺寸非常重要。虽然我的桌椅是在Michael Olaf购买的，您也可请个木匠帮您量身制作一个（请随时通过电邮向我要尺寸！）。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，桌椅都非常坚固，也很重，所以宝宝不容易移动桌椅。这能够确保宝宝的安全。如果您的孩子是大力士的话，您也可以在桌椅下加上铁板，增加它们的重量。
断奶桌椅
椅子扶手的高度要刚好适合小孩子。
宝宝5到6个月大，刚开始吃断奶餐的时候就可以让他坐在断奶桌椅里了。如果他们还无法自已坐稳，可以放一些小枕头从后面跟侧边支撑他们。图片里的B和M有7个月大。看得到我们放在旁边来扶住他们的小枕头吗？
这时，您也会需要到儿童尺寸的汤匙，浅碟子，和很小的玻璃杯。千万不要给她们塑胶餐具！您的孩子正在吸收关于这个世界的所有讯息，所以一定要给他们世界上最好的汤匙，最真实的碗碟和玻璃杯等。玻璃和银器都有很独特的感触和重量。塑胶呢？又轻又滑，一点实际感都没有！让您的孩子从小就享受吃饭的真正乐趣吧。
很多家长认爲，宝宝要一定从奶瓶开始，然后才可以慢慢地介绍鸭嘴杯，塑胶杯，玻璃杯等餐具给他们。爲什么不跳过中间的所有步骤，直接给他们玻璃杯呢？
玻璃制的小玻璃杯（是酒杯来的）和小水壶。可透视的小水壶会更好，因爲孩子们可以看到小水壶里还剩多少水。
碗碟要浅，不然他们会看不到里面的东西。太高的碗会挡住他们的视线。

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!!
