Pay attention to the development of eating skills

Try to let children actively participate in eating. For example, children aged 7-9 months can grab food, and children aged 1 year can use it by themselves. Spoon feeding can not only increase the baby's interest in eating, but also help coordinate eye-hand movements and develop independent abilities. It is not advisable to use forced and rough passive feeding methods that can cause infants and young children to develop psychological reactions of boredom and fear of eating.
