During the growth stage of infants and young children, parents not only pay attention to their children's diet, nutrition, and health, but also cultivate some life skills. Many parents, in order to cultivate their children's independence, will let their children learn to eat with a spoon by themselves. So, may I ask at what age can babies eat independently?
Generally speaking, after a baby turns one year old, parents can let their child start eating by themselves. Parents can prepare special baby utensils, make some simple foods such as noodles and rice, and let the baby eat by themselves. By persisting for a period of time, parents can gradually cultivate the baby's awareness of independent eating and teach them how to eat independently.
To cultivate children's sense of independence and autonomy, parents should first be careful not to take care of their children too finely, and not to prepare everything for them, as this will make them lose their hands-on ability. If parents want their children to learn how to eat on their own, they should avoid feeding them and let them eat on their own in order to develop their independence.
In addition, when preparing food for infants, parents should pay attention to light foods and avoid giving babies salty or sweet foods. They should also avoid giving babies spicy and stimulating foods to avoid increasing the burden on their digestive system and causing adverse irritation to their digestive system. This is beneficial for the healthy growth and development of infants.
