How to feed a toddler

 I guess the trickiest part of parenthood for me now is to make my little daughter understand that i know what is best for her. I make the decisions on meals and snack time, as well as everything else. Being pregnant i was obsessed about reading books about babies, and Bringing up bebe was on the top of my must read list. I have learned some key principles from that book and i would like to share it with you, i use them from the very beginning when i started weaning Eva on solids and i made a big success.

1. Parents schedule meals. Kids eat what adults eat.
2. Eat family meals together and make them feel special.
3. Food is not a reward, punishment or bribe.
4. Eat your veggies. Key: think the variety surve veggies first, when kids are hungriest).
5. You don`t have to like it, but you have to taste it.
6. Slowly food is happy food. As in, it slowly.
7. No snacking. It`s ok to feel hungry between meals.

Favorite pregnancy beauty goodies

I gained 39 pounds during pregnancy and i`m just 5`1 tall, so thats a lot for me. But i had no stretch marks at all. Genetically i was very likely to have them any week, because my sister and mom had so many of them and it plays a big role. After 5th month my belly was so tight and itchy, i tried  to keep the skin hydrated with oils and lotions all the time. So I would like to share my favorite pregnancy must have items, i will be more than happy even if it helps just a one woman :

1. WELEDA Pregnancy Body oil
