Let Your Baby Try Eating On Their Own

Team AckoFeb 8, 2024

Now that your baby is growing older, you will be starting her on solid foods. It is important to inculcate good eating habits right from the very start, so that your child maintains these habits as she grows older.

    Try and encourage your baby to eat her own food. Put her in her high chair, and place a few items of finger foods in front of her. At first she will probably just play with the food or throw it around. Show her how to put food in her mouth by doing it yourself first, and then holding her hand and guiding it gently.

    Having dinner with the whole family is a great thing to encourage from this age, as it has been proven to encourage good eating habits. Put your kid in a high chair near the dinner table so that she can imitate you.
