Hello, I'm Rui Rui Ma, the nurse. I'm glad to answer your question.
in the process of raising children, perhaps the biggest headache for parents should be the problem of baby eating. From birth to 6 months, babies are fed breast milk or formula milk. After 6 months, parents should add complementary food to their babies on time, so as to better supplement the nutrients needed for their growth and development. With the growth of the baby's age, when eating complementary food, the baby always reaches for the food or grabs the spoon fed by the parents, which not only makes the dining table messy, but also makes the baby's face, hands, clothes and floor all unsightly. It has become a big problem for many parents to let the children eat honestly.
It is a headache for parents to hear that other people's babies can eat by themselves, and their own babies have to be fed bite by bite. The key is not delicious, so how to exercise their babies to eat independently? Let the baby finish the complementary food happily and smoothly. It's good for your baby to eat independently < P > Early training your baby to eat independently means giving the baby the right to eat. The real purpose is to let your baby associate eating with happiness, freedom and relaxation at the beginning, thus reducing the probability of picky eaters and anorexia in the future.
For a baby, eating is not a task, but a fun thing. Babies can decide what to eat, how to eat, how much to eat and how fast to eat. In the whole process, the baby can observe the colors and characters of different foods and experience the different tastes of different foods!
Letting the baby eat independently can exercise the baby's fine hand movements and hand-eye coordination. Conducive to cultivating the baby's independence; Conducive to exercise the baby's chewing ability and grasping ability; It is conducive to preventing the baby's bad habits such as picky eaters and partial eclipse, and also preparing for going to kindergarten in the future!
how to train your baby to eat independently?
1. Prepare a place for the baby to eat by himself
Prepare a special dining chair for the baby when eating, let the baby eat with adults, and give the baby a suitable spoon to imitate the adults to eat. At first, the baby may get food everywhere, so parents should remember not to stop it, because this is a necessary process for the baby to learn to eat independently.
2. Give the baby a fixed meal time
It is very important to give the baby a fixed meal time, because it will cultivate the good habit of eating on time. After the time is fixed, the baby will naturally know that it is time to eat.
3. Guide the baby in an encouraging way
At the dinner table, parents should never scold the baby, which will easily make the baby lose the fun of eating. In the process of eating, parents should encourage and guide the baby to eat more. For example, if the baby sends the rice to his mouth with a spoon, parents should encourage it in time to let the baby feel the fun of eating.
4. Don't give your baby snacks one hour before meals
Don't give your baby any snacks about one hour before meals. If you give your baby snacks, it will make your baby not feel hungry at all, so your baby won't be very interested in eating.
5. Encourage the baby to grab food by hand
When the baby starts to eat by himself, don't stop the baby from grabbing food by hand. Parents can let the baby grab food by hand as long as they wash their hands, which will help the baby to form good eating habits.
6. Don't force the baby to eat
If the baby is full, he will push the food away by himself. At this time, parents can put away the food. Remember not to force the baby to eat or still let the baby sit in the dining chair. I hope the baby will finish the food in the dishes. If you are worried about your baby's lack of food or malnutrition, you can rest assured, because your baby will never let himself go hungry, and as long as parents prepare a balanced diet for your baby every day, there will never be malnutrition.
7. Prepare finger food for the baby at the corresponding age
Many parents will prevent the baby from grasping food with their hands, and the effect is always counterproductive. In fact, parents should conform to the development law of the baby at this stage and provide some finger food for the baby to grasp conveniently. If the baby has the impulse to grab food to eat, as a result, he will feel frustrated because he can't catch it, or chew it constantly and can't swallow it, which will greatly reduce his willingness to eat independently.
Parents prepare some finger food with moderate size and hardness for their baby, which is not only convenient for the baby to grasp, but also can exercise the baby's grasping ability well. Parents can choose the right finger food according to the baby's different months.
8. Guide your baby with picture books
Parents can guide their baby how to eat independently and develop a good sense of order by reading picture books with their baby and using picture stories. Picture books can enrich the baby's knowledge, and can also be used as the baby's code of conduct to help the baby get rid of some bad habits, such as correcting the baby's picky eaters, partial eclipse and overeating. Here are some picture books about eating, such as Hungry Caterpillar, Hungry Little Snake, No Sugar, No Vegetables, Crocodile Who Loves Vegetables, Baby Bear: Lunch, etc. for parents' reference. Recommend several recipes that can exercise your baby's independent eating
1. Purple potato and yam roll (method)
2. Banana avocado muffin (method)
3. Pumpkin and red dates cake (method)
4. Baby chicken sausage (method)

1. Don't "train" children. It is more important to follow the guidance of children's internal development laws. Mandatory training may be a kind of destruction to the baby's development.
2. Draw the necessary boundaries and distinguish what the baby should do by himself.
3. Have confidence in the baby, let go firmly and be a "lazy" mother.
summary
when parents guide their babies to eat independently, they should relax their mentality and state, treat their babies with a good attitude, and should not be too strict or use threatening language to trick their babies, or force their babies to eat. To guide the baby to eat independently, parents should first learn to change from leading to assisting. When the baby eats, parents should encourage the baby's emotions, assist the baby's movements, help the baby eat better, let the baby feel the fun of doing it himself from eating, and constantly enhance the baby's interest in eating independently, and enjoy delicious food in the process. Over time, the baby will fall in love with eating independently.
The above is the answer to this question. I hope my answer can help you.
I am a mother with a second child. Dabao is two and a half years old. Since the baby was 14 months old, rice has been the staple food, and milk has dropped to the status of complementary food.
It is concluded that the baby can eat independently, mainly because I insist on several aspects.
1 you must eat in the dining chair. From the beginning of eating complementary food, I asked my baby to eat only in the dining chair, except for drinking milk.
2 eating tools are very important. Bought three anti-fall suction pots and bowls. The choice of baby spoon is also very important. We use it to train spork, so that the baby can easily put food in his mouth, reducing frustration and enhancing his interest in eating. When the baby is two years old, he bought a ceramic dining basin, which belongs to a car. The baby likes this style very much.
3 don't want to eat, don't force it. The baby also has what he wants to eat and what he doesn't want to eat. When he has a good or bad appetite, he should be fully respected. If the baby doesn't want to eat, he can stop in time. Let him leave the dining table and dining chair, don't force him to eat, especially there is still a little in the bowl, which must be eaten by a baby. It is easy for the baby to reject eating, which is very stressful.
4 drink water properly before meals. If the baby is in a thirsty state, it is easier to lose appetite and not want to eat. If the baby doesn't drink much water in the morning, or drinks too little water, you can consider feeding water properly before meals to increase appetite.
6 You can try different methods for foods that your baby doesn't like. My baby doesn't like potatoes. At first, I thought he didn't like them, but it turned out that he didn't like soft and rotten potatoes, but liked crispy shredded potatoes. Treat foods that children don't eat, be more patient and try several times. Children's diet structure should be rich, otherwise it is easy to be picky eaters.
7 try different tableware. The baby is a visual animal, so buying some colorful and unique utensils can also stimulate the baby's interest in eating.
My two twins are almost two and a half years old now. My sister can take chopsticks, and my younger brother only knows how to eat with spoons and soup. These two children in our family often eat by themselves. Later, I feed them for fear that they will not eat enough. Our method is very simple. We should be regular and punctual regardless of eating and sleeping.
Give them a small amount of milk from 7: 3 to 8: in the morning, have some breakfast from 8: 3 to 9: , and have lunch from 12: to 1: . Have dinner from 18: to 19: in the evening, give them some milk after 2: 3, and be sure to go to bed at 21: 3. We basically do this every day. When we start to learn to eat by ourselves, they basically play with it. < P > The table and themselves are dirty, and sometimes they are not obedient. No matter what you make, we don't let them leave the table to eat, and we will tell them that they must eat on the table for a long time.

Self-eating training should actually start from six months, and the second stage training should be carried out from eight to ten months. However, the neglect of education has led to the baby's poor ability to eat independently, and almost all the bad performances are accounted for: throwing bowls, spoons, grabbing rice and throwing food. Fortunately, the baby loves to eat and is not picky about food.
solution: firmly believe that the baby can eat by himself, and adult counseling
stage 1: instead of providing mushy food, provide more finger food and hand food to increase the fun of the baby's self-eating, and most of the meals are completed by the baby. The video above is the video recording of the first stage of phoenix. On that day, breakfast _ spinach omelet was made. To my surprise, without the help of adults, the baby ate all the omelets by himself, and only the last two pieces began to throw around when he was full, and one meal entered the second stage.
key point: when a baby throws food or breaks a bowl, he should resolutely say no, and tell the baby that food should be put in his mouth. At this time, what adults need to do is to be patient. Babies are very smart, and after teaching them several times, they will know the correct way to eat.
stage 2: provide dry rice and food that you don't like to sprinkle in a spoon. Give the baby a spoon and a bowl, and start eating independently. Adults hardly interfere, only helping the baby put the rice in the spoon. Provide a small amount of rice at a time, and then serve it after eating, reducing the chance for the baby to play with rice.
key point: when the baby tries to grab a meal or throw a bowl, he still has to firmly say no and still tell the baby that the food should be put in his mouth. The most common problem is that the baby won't let adults move the spoon, and sometimes the angry baby cries, so he will come in and help the baby with a good meal while he is not paying attention. The key to success is to give strong affirmation when the baby puts the rice in his mouth, and slowly the baby will know what to do is right. Phoenix is also a meal time, so I know how to eat with a spoon is correct. About 1 spoons of this meal are completely eaten by myself.
Stage 3: Eat completely independently. At present, phoenix has not entered this stage. I only have time to train her on weekends, but I still hoard some artifacts to train my baby well.
1. Munchkin learns to drink a 36-degree cup, ready to quit the bottle, and drink milk with a cup
2. munchkin training spoon is longer than ordinary spoon, which is more convenient to put food into the mouth, and has not yet received the goods, expecting the effect
3.b.box training spoon, bought before training, to be observed
4. Good boy sucker bowl. It's just that the plug filled with water attracts the baby's attention and can't eat well
5. Training chopsticks. The baby especially likes chopsticks for adults to eat. Every time he grabs them, he is afraid that the baby will stab himself, so he bought a training chopstick to let the baby touch the chopsticks early.
6. Toothpaste can be swallowed, and the toothbrush is used as a grinding stick every time, and it has not been carefully brushed. When I was one year old, the doctor made it clear that I would start brushing my teeth, so I put the training of brushing my teeth on the agenda.
Hello, seeing that you want to train your 13-month-old child to eat independently shows that you are also a progressive and scientific parent. Our children also began to train to eat independently after they were one year old. It was a long and bitter road, suffering from cleaning and the incomprehension of their relatives. However, the final result is also gratifying. Children can eat by themselves when they are less than 2 years old, and there is no need to feed them, especially when they go out to play or have dinner, which is particularly worry-free.
so, how can I help my children eat independently?
1. when the child can sit up in a few months, we will put the child next to our dining table to cultivate her interest in food, although she still ate complementary food and didn't feed her at that time. However, she can know at the dining table that this is where we eat.
2. After the child is one year old, I bought her colorful children's spoons, plates and learning chopsticks. Sit at the table with us. I put her small baby food supplements on the plate, such as small pieces of noodles, rice, chopped vegetables, meat and so on. We started eating at the same time, and she must be playing with food at this time. We let her eat and play to her heart's content. The ground must be a mess, and there are grains of rice on the head, clothes and table, but I left her alone and let her explore for herself. After all, it is also a fine exercise.
Then after we finish eating, I will feed her some food to make sure she is full. Moreover, every time she puts rice into her mouth, we encourage her, praise her and make her happy to try again.
3. In this way, after a few months of chaotic training, the process is very bitter. Every time after dinner, I have to clean up and bathe him. Although there is a smock, there are grains of rice on my head and face.
4. In this way, I slowly insisted that after a few months, she was covered with rice grains from her head, face, floor and table until only the table and floor were covered with rice grains, and most of the rice grains could be put into her mouth. But after she feeds herself first,
