Feeding jade n friends

Recently jade would eat if I placed her solar hello kitty n Donald duck on her high chair feeding table. Sometimes she will pretends to feed them one by one n then herself. She will scoop the spoon n put at their mouth n say Ah Mum mum. Yes yes coaxing her friends to eat. Just like the. Way I coax her to eat.

Just yesterday jade invited a new friend to share her meals - Minnie mouse! She will hug her in her right arm n feed her with her left hand! I hope jade is not left handed!

But when she is outside she can accept dining with just us. :)

Usually I feed jade first, before daddy is back from work. She usually will finish her meal but when daddy is back to eat dinner. She will say Mum mum mum mum. Or Eat eat! Then ah mum mum!

Mr daddy will ask me why is his precious still hungry! Did I feed her well?! I think some how Jade had this habit to eat again when we adults r eating. I dun like it. I see it as a bad habit. But at my mil house this is usually what is happening. N then now it is also happening in my house.

I try to give her some of her unfinished food. I keep it aside so when she wants to eat our adult food. I feed her her food. Hopefully this will stop her habit. Usually this works.

But my neighbours say if she wants to eat. I should let her eat. Sometimes we eate outside food or sometimes the adult food is too oily or salty. I reAlly dun like to expose jade to those unhealthy food or food not toddler-friendly. I took pains to prepare her food, I just want her to stay healthy for now. As much as I can control. So I m also quite pananoid during cny when my mil ask if jade can eat marshmarrow n it is soft.

N my mum also tempting jade with the cny goodies sometimes. Sian.

Sometimes I hope people should respect our decision. My neighbours thinks other parents that brought their own toddler food is exaggerating. I think they r responsible parents whom care for their babies.

Although I do let jade eat outside food. I usually let her eat porridge, pototoes, eggs, bread, hot cakes, beancurd etc As mildly flavoured as possible. Anyway toddlers kidney can't take in too Much salt. Seasoning r not nutritious. They do more harm n good.
