Generally speaking, babies aged 2 to 3 can eat independently, but parents need to start exercising their baby's ability to eat independently after their first birthday. First of all, they should encourage their babies to eat by themselves, train their eating skills, adjust the atmosphere of the table when eating, and make good rules so that they can learn to eat independently. Babies aged 2 ~ 3 can eat independently, and parents should let their babies eat independently when they are 2 ~ 3 years old. At this time, parents need to put down their guard and try their best to adapt their babies to their own meals. Some babies spoil their parents too much until they are two or three years old, and they are still chasing after them, which slowly leads to playfulness and even anorexia when eating. Babies can't eat well because of their parents' doting. Parents need to reflect in time, learn to let go and encourage their babies to eat independently.

If you want your baby to eat independently, you must avoid misunderstanding. In order to let the baby learn to eat independently, parents need to avoid the following misunderstandings:

First, some parents will please their children in order to let them eat. When their children take a bite of rice, their parents will praise them too much. This flattering relationship is not conducive to the baby's normal study and eating.

Second: In the process of baby eating, mother's nagging and preaching can only bring low-cost output effect, and often the baby will be more reluctant to eat.

Third: when babies eat, they often eat slowly and get dirty easily. Ma Bao sometimes can't accept it, but she rushes to feed the children. After a long time, the baby's awareness of eating will also decline.

Cultivate your baby to eat independently, starting from the age of one. For parents, if they want to cultivate the habit of eating independently, they can start after the baby is one year old. First of all, we should prepare a special dining chair for the baby, so that the baby can limit the baby's range of activities when eating, and don't let the baby run around when eating. It is best to choose independent catering, which is conducive to cultivating your baby's eating habits. Secondly, wash the baby's hands and tableware when eating, and let the baby feel while eating. If the baby is playing hard while eating, don't stop the baby at this time, but create a happy eating atmosphere to attract the baby to participate.

Try to encourage and instill the concept of eating well. Parents should try to encourage their babies to eat independently. Eat at the table with the baby every day. Don't be too impatient if the baby is noisy when eating. Instead, let the baby try to eat and don't criticize him. When the baby doesn't want to eat, you can wait a little and continue to eat after the baby is hungry. On the issue of baby eating, it is necessary to establish good rules, instill in the baby the concept of eating well, don't watch TV while eating, and eat regularly and quantitatively.

In short, babies can eat independently when they are 2 to 3 years old. After the baby is one year old, parents and friends will start to let the baby exercise. In the process of cultivating the baby to eat independently, encouragement and interest are the main factors. In this process, don't force the baby to eat, but patiently accompany the baby to eat, so that the baby can develop good eating habits.
