Have you ever wondered how our seemingly small stomachs are able to hold all the food we consume, especially at times of big feasts? Surprisingly, an adult’s stomach is merely the size of a tennis ball! Can you even imagine a newborn’s stomach size is comparable with that of a glass marble and grows only gradually throughout childhood until it reaches its adult size.
This is why every mouthful baby consumes really does count and why it is important your baby’s food is packed with all the vital nutrients he or she needs to fuel growth and development.
Very young children are actually quite capable of communicating whether they are still hungry or full, even before they can speak. Babies will often indicate they are full with body language. They will show less interest in food, turn their heads away, close their lips, and even spit food out. On the other hand, they will communicate hunger by reaching out and showing interest in food, fussing and crying.
Obviously, parents still have the most influential role in ensuring baby consumes the right quantity and quality of nutrients to meet their changing nutritional needs when their appetite is small.
