When your kid learns to keep cookies or crouton in the small handle, it is possible to begin its preparation for independent feeding. Try to accustom the baby is a spoon. One day he also will try to snatch out it from your hands.
Instruction
1. Allow your kid is independently as soon as he shows such desire. Can happen so that if you miss such important point, then then you will be forced to feed the child still long enough. Having got used that he is fed, to the kid it becomes uninteresting to master a spoon. Some children try to pick up it in six-seven months, and others are not ready to learn to use independently this tableware and after a year. The main thing, try not to force events, and to proceed from desires of the baby, considering its opportunities. In most cases by the end of the first year of life the kid himself begins to take away a spoon from mom, trying to take the initiative.
2. Buy for the baby the tableware of a convenient form suitable by the size and a special children's plate with a double bottom. It is required in order that during feeding food did not cool down quickly (in the second bottom hot water is filled in). Keeping the child's handle in the, show how it is necessary to carry correctly a spoon to a mouth, at the same time without having turned it. Surely praise the kid for manifestation of an initiative and successful actions. Never abuse the baby for unsuccessful attempts.
3. At first you should reconcile to the fact that the baby himself also will be soiled, and will soil everything around. In spite of the fact that it is for the present very difficult to kid to be accurate, be not upset, and think over for him "overalls" on feeding better. Time for food at you will leave much more now therefore have patience. Each time at the baby it will turn out more accurately and best of all.
