Sometimes mothers make mistakes with portion sizes and put too much food on their child's plate.
As a result, the baby eats only part of the soup or porridge.
In such a situation, some parents think like this: "I can't throw away food! I'll probably finish my child's food."
However, this action should be abandoned. Especially if the baby's mother and father believe in omens.
There are three beliefs that explain the prohibition on eating food left on a baby's plate.
The child may lose vitality
According to one of the signs, parents who finish eating after their son or daughter take away the child’s vitality.
It is believed that in such a situation the child may lose positive energy and face illnesses.
The child becomes even more “attached” to his parents
It would seem that there is nothing wrong with this. Quite the contrary: the baby begins to love mom and dad even more.
But in reality, it may not be so much about love as about dependence.
In other words, the child will be afraid to take independent actions. He will always turn to his parents for help.
At least, this is what folk beliefs say about the possible consequences of finishing your child’s food.
The child may lose happiness
There is another belief: by eating the leftovers of lunch or dinner offered to a child, parents can deprive their son or daughter of happiness.
However, all of the above are just signs. Whether to believe in them or not is up to mom and dad.
