We need food for energy and for development. Thus, if a baby is developing in the right rear, babies are eating! The graph shows the development of the baby's development model in a specific period. If the development is always in a fixed curve (i.e. when age 1 and 2 years old, are located on the curve 25%), then the baby is developing normal and healthy.

A big mistake is that many of the parents or their children compared with other children. Children are often very different. Even twins are also not entirely the same. Each child has different genetics, mature, different style, different personality and love to eat different taste. Compare your baby with your neighbors, or the kid with the baby's siblings together will cause false expectations and stress.=
