If eating together as a family is important to you, youll want to have baby join you at the table. Even if they aren\'t hungry at times, they\'ll get used to eating on a schedule. A routine is key and so is patience. Begin to introduce a variety of foods and prepare for the messes! Young children are learning about food, so mealtime is a time to explore. It can get messy but your child is learning and experiencing the sensory components of food: taste, flavor, smell, texture and appearance.
