4 Tomatoes 'From the start' (€225 per session)
You think it’s important to get it right from the beginning. It’s easier to teach eating habits from an early age. And that certainly also applies to learning healthy eating habits. Everything is still new for your baby; not only the taste, but also, for example, the structure and the smell. Your child doesn’t know what’s happening, your child only knows milk! It makes sense that it takes a while to get used to other flavours. Sweet is an “easy taste” and breast milk is sweet for a reason.
It’s important to introduce your child to different flavours and types of food at a very young age (as soon as your child starts with the first bites). It’s all a matter of getting used to, and only then can a child develop's their own taste. Tastes can change over the course of a lifetime, but the foundation is set already with the first bites, in the first years of life, so it’s definitely worthwhile to be aware of this.
4 tomatoes: In 4-5 sessions, different eating moments are discussed with your child from 4-6 months to 1.5 years. Groente & Meer will analyze and discuss these videos during a video consultation with you.
