From the moment a baby is born parents think and often worry about their child&#146;s eating habits.  Doctors, family members, and the community at large have different opinions on the ways and forms to best nourish your child.  Your baby&#146;s first cries are usually a communication of hunger and most caregivers respond immediately. In some families mealtime is the first experience they have with a power struggle between child and parents. The truth is there is not one right way to feed a child so they will grow.  How much food children need is based on many factors including body type, activity level, and familial traditions around mealtime.  That being said, it does not take away the anxiety felt by most caregivers when they wonder or hear:
&#147;Should I breastfeed or formula feed?&#148;
&#147;Is my child eating a healthy balance diet?&#148;
&#147;Pero porque  esta tan flaca mi nieta?&#148;
&#147;Is he eating too much and too often?&#148;
&#147;When do I start solids and how?&#148;
This workshop will help participants understand the routines, natural rhythms, and familial values around mealtime.  We will explain how food is more than just a meal but another form of connection between parent and child, assist in creating routine, and explain different strategies with difficult behavior as it pertains to eating.  Time for questions and discussion will be provided.
