Hi hetal and all ,

My son is 15 months and is not ready for finger food . I try giving him biscuits to hold but he drops it and then after some time comes and picks it up and takes a bite and then drops it again. I give him soft biscuits . I also tried other finger food but he is not ready to hold them. I also tried putting some cheese pieces in his feeding table in a plate..but he just plays with the plate.
Can you all suggest some tips to make him learn to have finger food ? and do 15 year olds eat from a plate with spoon ? I still feed him with my hand or spoon.
Hetal..i would appreciate if u could also guide me to some dalia recipe .Thanks. replied. You'll need to encourage him whenever he is successful in eating alone. Sit by his side and be very enthusiastic at every attemp. Hugs & Kisses make wonderful rewards for little ones. A lot of little ones do require a little extra assistance in learning to eat by themselves. He should be able to use a spoon however. Have you tried giving him a spoon of his own when you're feeding him? Children learn through trial & error so give him plenty of opportunity to try. It is ok if he is very messy but if he is having obvious difficulty you need to take him to see a specialist for assessment. It might just be that he has poor muscle tone & needs to have a little O/T to help get them strong
