How do i start my baby on a good habit of not wasting food?

Dont start habit: Just offer them small portions, they generally know what they need. 'dont waste food' attitude encourages obesity.

Portion control: I agree with dr. Valdez-small portions. In america, we often eat until we are 'full', while in other cultures one eats until about 70% full. Serve small portions of everything, with 'seconds' only after first servings are consumed. An age appropriate serving could be a single bite.
