Responsive feeding is an approach that encourages caregivers to pay attention to a child's hunger and fullness cues. This means recognizing when a child is hungry and offering food, as well as understanding when they are full and should stop eating. The goal is to create a positive mealtime experience that supports healthy eating habits. This method promotes a child's autonomy and helps them develop a healthy relationship with food. By responding to a child's needs, caregivers can foster a sense of trust and security, which is essential for their overall growth and development. This approach is often recommended by pediatricians and nutritionists.
