Start your kids out healthy and fit!
If you have an infant, breastfeeding is healthier, and breastfed children are far less likely to become obese than children who use formula.
Don’t be in a hurry to introduce solid foods if you are breastfeeding. Let your child be your guide.
They will tell you when they are ready, and you can always consult with your pediatrician if you are feeling uncertain.
When your child is young, start to teach them about nutrition, and give them low fat, healthy snacks.
Make sure they get plenty of physical activity and exercise and that they do not fall into sedentary habits (watching a lot of TV or playing computer or video games). If these habits are established early, they will stay with your child for a lifetime.
And remember to practice the ‘everything in moderation’ technique. If your child wants to eat a sweet treat or watch a favorite movie, don’t deny them that favor, but be sure that is not the RULE instead of the EXCEPTION.
