Feeding Your Kid by the Moon Sign by Matthew Currie l Parenting l Kids l Tips with Kids l Feeding and Astrology l Parenting Tips

So: here’s some real life practical tips on how to feed a baby, based on their Moon sign

As with all things in life, astrologically or otherwise, your mileage may vary. Much depends on the rest of the child’s chart as well as how the baby’s Moon is aspected by the other planets in his/her birth chart. Now: pull up a bib and some puréed vegetables, grab a baby and play along at home!

You can spend half your life building a career, learning things, and becoming a better person — yet the challenge of feeding a baby his or her first solid foods can reduce even the most intelligent and gifted of us into a ball of frustration.

In your birth chart, your Moon represents your basic emotional and physical responses to life. Quite often, babies act much more like their Moon Sign than their Sun Sign. Just like your own eating habits, an infant’s are often strongly influenced by the Sign placement of their natal Moon. Learning that placement and working with it (rather than against it) can go a long way toward making meal times more smooth — for both yourself and your baby.

Water Sign Moon (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

Water Moon Babies are usually more into their own emotional state than those of others, so feeding one can be a hit-or-miss affair, depending on their current emotional environment. Cancer Moon babies are usually the first to show signs of being “emotional eaters.” Imparting a certain sense of safe routine — like always using the exact same spoon, for example — can be a tremendous help. This baby might be hard to feed in unfamiliar settings. Scorpio Moons are often slow but steady, so don’t be surprised if they analyze every spoonful. And Pisces Moon babies are pretty much impossible to feed if something is annoying them.
