Raising Intuitive Eaters

When you are eating with your child, do you notice when your child decides when they have enough to eat? How do you react? Do you encourage your child to eat more?

If your child eats when they are hungry and stops eating when they feel full, this is called intuitive eating. Their brain is in tune with their tongue and stomach. They recognise what foods they enjoy and rely on internal hunger and satiety cues to determine when and how much they eat.

Feeding on demand, identifying the cues, and trusting your child’s ability to recognise hunger and satiety are the key steps to retain intuitive eating.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if your child could retain the skills to eat intuitively? Join Jenny McNulty, Paediatric Dietitian from weaning.ie on Saturday 22nd October at 11am where she will delve further into Raising Intuitive Eaters. Jenny McNulty is a CORU registered Senior Paediatric Dietitian currently based in Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street.
