A 1956 professional journal article recommended solid foods on the second or third day of life and encouraged omitting the night feeding by age 15 days. After that, the infants were to continue on three meals per day.1 This nutritional underprotection extended to the milk feeding as well, with many professionals recommending infants be shifted at 3 or 4 months from formula or breastmilk to 2 percent milk.

Ellyn Satter Quotes

If a struggle emerges about eating, a toddler will get so involved in the struggle and so upset that it overwhelms her need to eat. This observation is just as true of struggles about potty training, what to wear, school work, and so on. Throughout your child’s growing-up years, it is important to matter-of-factly set the limits and avoid the emotional fireworks and struggles. Learning to do this with feeding will help you in other areas as well.

How to Get Your Kid to Eat: But Not Too Much Quotes

He tuned out his sensations of hunger, fullness, and pleasure—and, as much as he could, his discomfort with feeling stuffed—and simply got the food down. Through no fault of his own, Wesley’s chronic overeating made him fat as a child and fat as an adult. When he grew up, he tried to stop overeating and turned instead to dieting. Over and over, he restricted his food intake and forced his weight down, only to give up the diet and gain the weight back—almost without exception to a higher level.
