It will take a lot of time and, let's face it, a lot of effort to wait until the baby can skillfully use a spoon on his own.
The following tips will help bring the long-awaited event closer.
1. Before you begin the process of teaching your baby to eat with a spoon, stock up on two identical utensils. Hand one spoon to the baby, and let dad or mom hold the other.
Feed your baby while allowing him to act independently. And remember: scattered and spilled food is normal.
2. Another necessary "accessory" is a plate with a suction cup. It is better if unbreakable material is used for making the dishes.
You can do the same thing with a spoon: put some food for the baby in one plate, and let the adult feed him from the other.
3. A bib will help save your son or daughter's clothes from stubborn stains.
Pay attention to silicone products - they are easier to clean and are also equipped with a special pocket at the bottom.
4. Try to make sure that your baby has breakfast, lunch and dinner with other family members, because the best way to teach your little one is to set a personal example.
