Many mothers say that it is not easy to train their babies to eat on their own. In fact, it is not so difficult to find some tips.
Let's listen to the story of Lilac Mother Planet's Bao Mama @ Greedy Lady.
How did the obsession with eating on your own come about?
I think when I didn't start a family, I saw many pictures of the family holding spoons and chasing the bowls when many older children were eating, and I felt disgusted at that time;
So when he has a baby, he thinks that he must establish the awareness that he has learned to eat his own food from a young age!
From the time he began to eat complementary foods, I chose to consciously ask him to eat by himself;
Now the baby is one and a half years old, whether at home or outside, more than 80% of the time he can eat by himself.
Next, I will talk about the small experience of tiger eating
Make a reliable baby dining chair
If you don't, you're blind
Dining chair options:
The baby's dining chair is recommended to choose the spicy species with a small table, and the price style is judged by everyone

We have tried the IKEA type without a desktop, and found that the height of the desktop at home cannot match, the baby is easy to get stuck when eating, and it is also very uncomfortable to say when grasping.
If you go down to the restaurant, it is best to find a spicy variety with a baby dining chair, otherwise there is an adult who is destined to assume the responsibility of dirty baby seat.

According to the baby's ability
Gradually increase the difficulty of eating
Whether it was the paste-like food at the beginning, or the noodles and rice later, or even the adult meals and fruits now, we gave the tiger a spoon or a fork and asked him to choose how he wanted to eat.
For example, porridge food, he will grab the mud like his own hand into the bowl to grab, will gradually remember to grab the spoon next to it, not good to use and then put down, and then grab it with his own hands, and then use tools, a meal down, there are indeed many tricks.

All of the above feeding processes can also be fed appropriately, but the principle is not to deprive the baby of the ability to obtain food on his own:
For example, when he eats a spoon, he will leak his mouth, but he must bear not to grab his spoon, afraid that he will take another spoon when he is not full and wants to feed, tiger tiger enjoys everyone working together to complete the process of stuffing food into his mouth.

Cure your obsessive-compulsive disorder
Selective blindness
The scene of tiger eating can not be said to be not a disaster, he will eat while touching various strange parts of himself, such as scratching his ears, scratching his hair, after eating enough, he often treats the rice stall as a paradise, uses a spoon to beat in the soup, and throws food directly to the ground, occasionally rising to have to pass what he has chewed to me again, in short, the tricks are continuous, and it is a headache.
My experience is to adjust the mentality, allow the tiger to explore the right, step by step, just like the baby sleeps, will improve a little bit this time, the next time seems to be a little worse, but in general, it is a tortuous progress.
For example, his problem of throwing food on the ground began to be very serious, and then it was much better, and it recurred in the first two months, and it was almost nothing recently.
The above scene is indeed a big challenge for parents who love cleanliness and mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, but for the development of baby eating skills, it is estimated that everyone has endured hahaha.
For example, Tiger Tiger Grandma is a person with cleanliness habits, and it seems to be doing well at present, silently wiping the floor after eating tigers every day without complaint, Good Grandma of China!
Yes, and don't forget to make a bib, plastic kind, cleaning is convenient and affordable, can hold the baby a lot of missed food, you can also supplement a napkin spread on the baby's leg, prevent food leakage on the leg!
