In the process of raising children, probably the most headache for parents should be the baby to eat this problem. Babies from birth to 6 months, are fed breast milk or formula, to 6 months, parents have to add supplemental food to the baby on time, so as to better replenish the baby's growth and development of the nutrients needed. As the baby's age grows, the baby will always reach for food or grab the parent's feeding spoon, not only to make a mess of the table, the baby's face, hands, clothes, on the ground have all become unbearable, so that the child's good old-fashioned honesty to eat has become a big problem for many parents.
Hearing that other people's babies can eat on their own, and their own babies have to feed them one by one, not to mention that the key is not good enough to eat, which is a headache for parents, so how do you exercise your baby's autonomy to eat? Let the baby can happily and smoothly to eat all the complementary food.
Early training baby autonomy eating, is to give the right to eat to the baby, the real purpose is to let the baby at the beginning of the meal and happy, free, easy to link, so as to reduce the baby later picky eaters, anorexia probability .
Eating is not a task for babies, it is a fun thing to do. Babies can decide what they eat, how they eat, how much they eat, and how fast they eat. During the whole process, the baby can observe the colors and traits of different foods and experience the different tastes of different foods!
Let the baby independent eating can exercise the baby's hand fine motor and hand-eye coordination; is conducive to the development of baby's independence; is conducive to exercise the baby's ability to chew and grasp; is conducive to the prevention of baby picky eaters, partiality and other bad habits at the same time for the future of the kindergarten in advance to get ready!
How to train your baby to eat on his own?

At mealtime to the baby to prepare a special dining chair, let the baby and adults to eat together, give the baby a suitable spoon, let the baby to imitate adults to eat, the baby may be the beginning of the baby to get the food all over the place, parents remember not to stop, because this is the baby to learn to eat independently of a necessary process.

3, with the encouragement of the way to guide the baby
At the dinner table, parents should not scold the baby, it is easy to let the baby to lose the fun of eating, in the process of eating, parents should be more encouragement to guide the baby to eat, such as the baby with a spoon to the mouth of the rice, the parents should be encouraged to make the baby experience the joy of their own meal.
4, an hour before the meal do not give the baby snacks
In the baby an hour or so before the meal, do not give the baby to eat any snacks, if you give the baby to eat snacks will make the baby to the meal at all do not feel hungry, so the baby will not have a lot of interest in eating.
5, encourage the baby to use their hands to grab food

If you are worried that your baby is not getting enough to eat, or is malnourished, you can rest assured that your baby will never let himself go hungry, and as long as your parents prepare a balanced diet for your baby on a daily basis, you will never suffer from malnutrition.
7. Prepare finger foods for babies of the appropriate age
Many parents will prevent their babies from grasping food with their hands, and the effect is always counterproductive, in fact, parents should follow the developmental pattern of babies at this stage, and provide babies with some convenient pinch and grasp finger foods. If the baby has the urge to grab food to eat, the result of the grasp, or chewing, swallowing, and frustration, to a large extent, to reduce the willingness to eat on their own.

Summary
Parents to guide the baby to eat on their own, to relax their mind and state of mind, with a good mind to treat the baby to eat, can not be too harsh or threatening language to cajole the baby, or appear to force the baby to eat and other behavior. Good guide to the baby autonomy eating, first parents should learn to change from the leading to assist, in the baby eating, parents should encourage the baby's emotions, to assist the baby's movements, to help the baby to eat better, so that the baby from eating to feel the fun of their own hands, and constantly enhance the baby's interest in independent eating, and in the process to enjoy the delicious food, and over time, the baby will love the autonomy of the eating.
The above is the answer to this question, I hope my answer can help you.
I'm a mother of two, my eldest child is 2.5 years old this year, and since my baby was 14 months old, rice has been the main food, and milk has dropped to the status of complementary food.
Summarized the baby can eat on their own, mainly because there are a few aspects that I adhere to.
1 Must eat in the dining chair. From the beginning of the complementary food, I asked the baby can only eat in the dining chair, except for drinking milk.
2 Eating tools are important. Anti-fall suction basin bowl bought three. Baby spoon choice is also important, we use the training fork spoon, the baby is easy to put food into the mouth, reduce frustration, enhance the interest in eating. When the baby is two years old, buy a ceramic meal portion basin, is a small car, the baby is very like this shape.
3 Do not want to eat not forced. The baby also has their own want to eat and do not want to eat, have a good appetite and bad time, to fully respect him, if the baby does not want to eat, you can stop in time. Let him leave the table and dining chair, do not force to eat, especially the bowl and a little, have to stuff a baby to eat, never. It is easy to let the baby reject eating, very stressful burden.
4 Appropriate water before meals. If the baby is in a very thirsty state, it is easier to have no appetite, do not want to eat. If your baby didn't drink much water all morning, or drank too little water, consider feeding water appropriately before meals, which can improve appetite.
6 For the baby does not like the food, you can try more different ways. My baby does not like to eat potatoes, at first I thought I did not like to eat, but it turns out that I do not like to eat soft potatoes, but like crisp potato shreds. Be more patient with foods that your child doesn't eat and try them a few more times. The child's diet should be rich in structure, otherwise it is easy to be biased and picky about food.
7 Try different tableware. Babies are visual creatures, so buying some colorful and unique utensils can also stimulate your baby's interest in eating.
My two twins are now almost two and a half years old, sister chopsticks will take, brother only know how to take the dipper to eat, we have these two children will often eat by themselves, after I feed a little bit of fear that they ate by themselves did not have enough to eat, our method is very single regardless of the eating and sleeping should be regular punctual,
7:30 am to 8:00 a.m. to give them a small amount of milk to drink, 8:30-9:00 a.m. to eat a little breakfast! They do not give them away from the table to eat, will tell them to eat on the table to eat, over time they are also accustomed to now as long as it is to eat, the beginning of their own to eat, behind us in the feed point, the child no matter how to eat and sleep parents must let them develop good habits.
i
Autonomous eating training should actually start at six months, eight to ten months for the second stage of training. But negligence of education led to the baby now independent eating ability is particularly poor, all the bad performance almost all accounted for: drop the bowl, throw the spoon, hand grabbing rice, throwing food. Luckily, the baby loves to eat and is not picky.
The solution: believe that babies can eat on their own, adult counseling
Stage 1: do not provide paste food, provide more finger food and hand food, increase the baby's independent eating pleasure, a meal most of the baby autonomy to complete. The video above is a video record of phoenix's first stage, the day of breakfast_spinach egg pancakes, out of my surprise, in the absence of adult help, the baby will eat all the egg pancakes, only the last two pieces of the last two pieces of the case in the case of eating enough to begin to throw around, a meal time to enter the second stage.
key point: the baby premeditated to throw food, wrestling with the bowl to firmly say NO, and tell the baby, food is to be put into the mouth, this time the adults need to do is to be patient plus patience, the baby is very smart, teach a few times will know the correct way to eat.
Stage 2: Provide a drier meal, served in a spoon does not love to spread the food. Give your baby a spoon and bowl and start eating on your own, with little adult intervention, only helping your baby to serve the rice in the spoon. Offer a small amount of rice at a time and serve it after eating to minimize the chances of baby playing with pinched rice.
key point: When the baby tries to grab the rice or throw the bowl, you still need to firmly say no, and still tell the baby that the food is to be put into the mouth. The most problems, the baby does not allow adults to move the spoon, sometimes angry baby straight cry, this time to coax to come, while not paying attention, and then help the baby to serve the meal. The key point of success, the baby will put the rice into the mouth of the baby, to give a strong affirmation, slowly the baby will know how to do is right. phoenix is also a meal time, know how to eat with a spoon is correct, this meal is about 10 spoons or so is completely their own eat into the mouth.
Stage 3: Complete autonomy in eating, phoenix has not yet entered this stage, I only have the weekend to train her, but still stock up on some artifacts, to train the baby properly.
1. munchkin360 degree drinking cup, ready to give up the bottle, drink milk with a cup
2. munchkin training spoon, longer than the average spoon, more convenient to send food into the mouth, has not yet received the goods, look forward to the effect
3. b.box training spoon, bought before the untrained, to be observed the effect
4. good boy suction cups Bowls, there have been a number of sucker bowls, either too flat not easy to hold rice, or water plugs to attract the baby's attention can not eat properly
5. training chopsticks, the baby especially like adults to eat with chopsticks, every time to snatch, and afraid of the baby to poke their own, so bought a training chopsticks, so that the baby early contact with chopsticks
6. swallowable toothpaste, toothbrushes every time they were I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good look at this. The doctor made it clear to me that I should start brushing my teeth when I had my one year checkup, so I put brushing on the agenda.
Hello, I see that you want to train your 13-month-old to eat on his own, which means that you are also a progressive and scientific parent. We started training our child to eat on his own after he turned one, and it was a long and painful journey, with a lot of cleaning and lack of understanding from family members. But the end result is also happy, the child less than 2 years old can eat on their own, no need to feed the child, especially out to play or dinner, especially worry.
So how did I help my child eat on his own?
1. When my child could sit up after a few months, we put my child next to our dining table when we ate to cultivate her interest in food, even though she was still eating supplements at that time, and I didn't feed her. However, she was at the table where she could know that this was where we dined for our meals.
2. After the child was one year old, we bought her brightly colored children's spoons, plates and learning chopsticks. Sit at the table with us. I give her dinner plate to put her small particles of baby supplements, such as small sections of pasta, rice, chopped vegetables, diced meat and so on. We start eating at the same time, she must be playing with her food all the time at this point and we let her eat and play to her heart's content. The floor must have been a mess, and there were grains of rice all over her head, clothes, and table, but I left her alone and let her explore on her own, which is fine motor exercise after all.
Then when we finished eating, I fed her some more rice to make sure she was full. And, every time she puts a grain of rice in her mouth, we encourage her, praise her, and make her happy to try again.
3. Just like that, after a few months of training in a mess, the process was painstaking. I had to clean up after every meal and give him a bath, and even though I had a smock, there were grains of rice on my head and face.
4, so slowly insisted that I do not know a few months later, she has been from the head, face, floor, table full of rice particles to only the table and the floor is rice particles, most of the rice particles can be sent to the mouth. However, after she ate on her own, we would feed her again, because most of the food she ate on her own was wasted. And old people find it a hassle to waste, so fortunately I've been consistent.
I don't know how many months this lasted, but she was able to eat by herself with a spoon. I bought learning chopsticks to help her use them, and I started training chopsticks when she was more than 2 years old.
Without a strong will, and with an elderly person in the house to stop it, helping your child train to eat on their own can be a hard road. I hope this helps those who want their children to eat on their own.
Hello, I'm Ms. lulu and I'm happy to answer your question.
13-month-old baby, training her to eat on her own, we need to pay attention to two aspects:
First, cultivate the ability of the baby to eat on her own
13-month-old baby actually like to hold the spoon and grab the food on their own, the reason why they can't eat on their own is because of their lack of ability,
Their hand-eye coordination and fine motor development of the hands is not good enough, causing them not to be very skillful, but they can't be very skillful.
Their hand-eye coordination and fine hand movements are not well developed enough, causing them to be unable to use spoons and chopsticks very skillfully, and it is very difficult for them to even grab food and stuff it into their mouths, so many of the little ones are always getting it all over the place when they are eating.
But this process of looking like children not eating well, playing with food, and getting food all over the place is actually the child exercising his or her ability to eat independently!
But if you only think about exercising your baby's eating ability at mealtimes, there are too few opportunities for this kind of practice for little ones, not to mention that there are a lot of parents who, because they can't stand their children's clumsy and messy eating process, directly deprive their babies of the chance to practice eating on their own, which makes them even less likely to eat on their own!
So, the right thing to do is to take the initiative to create some opportunities for babies to practice in our daily lives, such as:
games such as these, so that babies can play while practicing their independent eating skills.
Second, to cultivate the interest of small children to eat on their own
1, the exclusive baby dining chair
There is a small baby's own dining chair, when the baby sits on it, you know to eat. This is a kind of psychological suggestion before dining;
2, prepare for the baby suitable for their tableware
The little baby because the fine hand movement is not yet coordinated enough, adult tableware is too difficult for the child to use, so we have to prepare exclusive toddler tableware suitable for the little baby to use.
3, fixed dining ritual
Every time before eating, let the little baby to wash their own hands, their own to get the small dishes, their own initiative to sit on the small dining chair, and then quietly waiting to eat.
This fixed process gives the little one a sense of pre-dinner ritual, and makes the toddler full of anticipation and interest in eating.
4, free and constrained dining environment
When the little baby in the dining process, the food knocked over, to the body, with the hands of the food, and so on, these behaviors, do not stop or reprimand, let the little baby in accordance with their own behavioral standards, the freedom of eating.
But, to constrain the baby's meal time, can not let the baby no time limit play. The first thing you need to do is to tell your baby in advance that he or she will not be able to eat when mom cleans up the dishes.
5, delicious food
Prepare your baby with nutritious and delicious food, and don't eat too much of it at each meal, outside of the staple food, two to three fancy dishes can be, but the recipes should change every week.
6, don't force the baby to finish
Parents will be worried that the baby did not eat enough, so in the little baby meals in the middle, we have to carefully observe, if the baby autonomy to eat, basically did not eat a lot, we can be a little bit of supplemental feeding, but in the process of feeding, if the baby resisted not eat, then don't force it. The baby resisted not eat, do not force.
Eat smaller meals and add some pre-dinner fruit or snacks in between meals.
In fact, no matter whether it's a meal or a game, every little baby likes to come on their own, just that we adults always think that children are small, not good enough to do it, and often deprive the child of the opportunity to do it, and then when you find that the child will not be able to do it, then you start to hurry and urge.
So, by providing the right environment and letting young children get more opportunities to practice and develop on their own, mothers no longer have to worry about their babies not being able to eat.
Hi, I'm Ms. Xue from the 30th floor, and I'm the mother of a one-year-old baby.
My baby has just started eating on his own, and so far the results have been good, so I'll share my experience
1, meal time on the tableMeal time on the dining room chair, regardless of whether the Able is not the time to eat, if he is awake, he will sit on the dining room chair to see us adults eat, one let him know that the meal must be sitting in a dining room chair, and two to see the adults eat, it will make him on the meal, but also to see the adults eat. This is an emotional interest in the matter of eating.
2, eat finger food
A treasure just started to eat rice paste is fed by adults, but adults eat, he sat in the dining room chair, will let him eat finger food, exercise the fine hand movement, so that he knows how to put the food into the mouth. A treasure childhood first eat eat eat steamed carrots, broccoli and a series of pure natural ingredients.
By the time he was eight months old, he would be given snacks that worked much like finger foods.
3. Choose the right complementary spoon
When A Bao was 9 months old, I would prepare the spoon for him to eat on his own, the purpose is to let him try, and sometimes when we feed him rice paste, he would try to scoop it himself, and try to put things into his own mouth by himself. But at this time, his movements are very insensitive muscle, I do not force.
4, seize the opportunity to eat on their own
A treasure 11 months, very much want to eat on their own, I bought him an insulated sippy cup bowl, first try to dial something to the baby's spoon, the baby tried to spoon the food to the mouth.
At 13 months, Baby A started trying to scoop his own spaghetti and such, and everything came naturally. Sometimes, of course, it can be a handful. But now, he's slowly getting better, everything comes naturally, and he really enjoys eating on his own.
This is all my experience about A baby eating on his own, I hope it will help you.
It's a very good habit to train your child to be independent and eat from a young age.
First, buy a child dining chair for your child. Buy special stainless steel bowls and chopsticks, spoons. Put on a special apron for him to eat when you eat. Put the child inside the dining. Dining chair put a large piece of plastic paper underneath, because the child to eat, it is easy to spill on the ground, easy to clean and clean.
Second, first let the child eat by himself, whether he grabbed with his hands or use a spoon, chopsticks can be, mom just watch his safety on the side. After the child has eaten for some time, worrying that the child is not full, feed him a little more.
Third, give your child regular meal times. For example, three meals a day morning, noon and night, according to the parents of the normal time to eat. In the middle of the hungry can add meals such as fruit, milk or give him to do some other healthy snacks. Small buns, a little porridge, or homemade cupcakes and so on.
Fourth, parents must have patience, in the child just started to eat, get everywhere, mouth and face on the body is very dirty, everywhere is rice grain soup, do not be afraid of the child to get dirty, only to go through this process, the child will soon learn to eat.
Hello, I'm very happy to answer your question!
Autonomous eating is a gradual process, take your time and don't rush!
Lead the way and let your child learn to eat with their hands first!
Once you've learned how to grab food, you can give your child a spoon. The first time the child is not used to it. You'll have to train him a few more times to get used to the idea.
The baby will not use the spoon parents can eat with the baby with a spoon. This is the age when babies like to imitate adults. If you learn to eat with a spoon, you will be able to eat with a spoon.
Finally, the child ate poorly, you do not come up to scold the child, it will cause psychological shadow to the child. Wit no matter what the child ate, do not go to blame scold the child, to have the patience to slowly guide.
My answer ends here.
My family's little month 13 months when you can eat by yourself with a spoon, 7 months began to eat with their own hands, the training of independent eating is to let go of the hands of the baby to try to oh!
Little month 6 began to add complementary food, the first is the rice flour and then add vegetables puree meat puree, a wobble two months passed, little month all kinds of puree still drink, 7 months began to give the noodles rotten porridge, steamed potato strips carrots and groundnuts to give her to eat, and at the same time let her let her eat, a little month of the performance of the unexpected, I was particularly surprised!
Most of the time, it's not that babies can't do it, it's that we think they can't do it! So when you think it's impossible, give babies a chance to explore and try things on their own, and they'll really surprise you! Don't worry about baby will choke to card to, can't swallow to go to the baby will vomit out, sooner or later will have to go through this process, so far a small month did not appear to have been stuck to the beginning of the often vomit out, and then much better.
Xiao Xiao Yue auxiliary food I did not prepare more carefully, most of the time is a pot of stew, noodles or porridge with vegetables and meat puree or eggs a boil, vegetables and fruits are almost the same as adults, we eat together, she ate we ate, never need a person alone responsible for feeding her, go out and do the same, take a little fruit snacks put a small rice pocket does not affect our meals, this is also a little less than a baby with the benefits. This is also the advantage of having fewer people with children, otherwise the various kinds of children are always accompanied by a person, there is no opportunity to do it yourself. In short, the sooner we start eating on our own and exercising our ability to chew, the better, and when we're older, we won't eat on our own until we're really miserable
