    I'm not going to tell you what you should feed your children. I'm not an expert in this matter. You can be a vegetarian, you can eat only donuts( I, in general, can understand this), or experience a superstitious fear of beans. I think you yourself are able to choose any of the many healthy diets, and also to exclude from the baby diet that which really does not bring benefits( alas, including donuts).

    In any case, one thing is important: those tastes that are formed in childhood, it is almost impossible to change in the future. Hence, the responsibility for the formation of healthy habits in the nutrition of your children lies solely on you.

    THOSE TASTES WHICH ARE FORMED IN A CHILDHOOD, IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE IN FURTHER.MEANING, RESPONSIBILITY FOR FORMING HEALTHY HABITS IN FOOD IN YOUR CHILDREN LIES ONLY TO YOU.

    I grew up in an era when I was eating all very differently. My mother's generation experienced a war and a food deficit, and obesity was practically unfamiliar to him. But when I myself became an adult, the habits inherited from the mother and having for her a very concrete meaning, turned out to be of little use in the changed conditions.

    So, for example, I definitely had to eat everything that lies on the plate. Until I finished, I was not allowed to get up from the table. When I was little, everything was fine, because then the portions were small;but then, when I grew up, it began to have a negative effect on my figure. Even when I really wanted to lose weight, it turned out that all the same, I almost can not leave anything on the plate. Now I allow my children to put themselves as much as they themselves think is necessary, but if someone is greedy and puts on a plate as much as not being able to eat, no one forbids him to leave uneaten some portion of the portion.

    And here's another example. As a child, I could get pudding. Only after eating everything else. And what did I learn in the end? That this sweet, dense pudding is a coveted reward, the only thing that makes sense throughout the dinner;and I took all the rest of the tasty and nutritious food as punishment, which must be endured to reach this goal. In truth, it did not help too much to maintain a normal weight. And what did I do to prevent history from happening again with my children? We hardly ever serve pudding at home, except when we have guests, and in any case, of course, no one forces them at first to eat up other dishes.

    And this is how you like it? I was given sweets when something happened to me, or as a reward for something well done. And this habit, too, like a millstone, is still hanging on my neck. It's worth stumbling and falling, I'm definitely buying a Mars bar. And I say to myself that when I finish this section of the "Rules" I can eat a piece of the cake.
