When a little being enters the family cocoon, one can think that it is easier to make baby eat before the rest of the family for a question of organization. Whether in BLW or in classic food diversification, it is important to eat at the same time as baby.
Share a moment with the family
To eat baby at the same time as everyone is to allow him to discover the pleasant moments shared with the family around a good homemade meal . To meet all together around a table after a beautiful day is a unique opportunity to live friendly moments , laughing , sharing and especially qualities . It would be a shame not to quickly bring these precious moments to baby. It is ultimately a simple pleasure of life that we like to live every day.
Even if the meals all together may not be always easy, let your little bit share a quality moment with the whole family. You can also extend this time with the family by all cooking the meal or snack of the day together.

Transmit good eating habits by mimicry
Good eating habits are transmitted at meals . By inviting baby to share a meal with you, you can easily offer him a rich and varied diet . Indeed, seeing everyone eat the food of the five food groups , baby will be more inclined to do the same and to feast on his plate made with love. But that's not all. Your little bit will also be more willing to discover new foods since the whole family will eat the same thing as him. Baby's taste palette may well be developed.
Mimicry plays a big role in the transmission of good eating habits . It is therefore the ideal moment to rebalance the plate of the whole family in order to offer a rich and varied diet to everyone.
Show the right table
When you share a meal with baby , it's not just good eating habits that are transmitted. Indeed, at meals, baby is very attentive to his plate, but also to everything that is happening around him . He will observe the behavior of each family member at the table . Unconsciously, you will transmit to baby the civilized habits to have when you eat sitting at the table like making small spoons and a big mouth, drinking water, etc. But that's not all, baby will also try to reproduce your gestures by mimicry, which will help him understand how to use the cutlery independently .
Do not miss an opportunity to spend quality time all together. Even if baby has already eaten, he can share a nice family moment by simply being at the table with you.
