Self- Feeding Skills Part IV
Here, we come to an end of the phase of self- feeding skills from being at the inventory stage to now mastering all the skills required for becoming an independent feeder :)
10- 11 months: After motor grasp, comes better pincer grasp, observe your child doing finger feeding such as cheeslings, rice puffs, etc
12 months: Observe for independent spoon feeding, using whole hand, not so skilled at it though
12 months: Can hold their cup with both hands and take 4-5 consecutive swallows of liquid
12 months: Now, able to hold the bottle with both hands, your child can now tip the bottle as required to finish the drink from the bottle
15- 24 months: Observe your child at being independent for self- feeding and gaining mastery at their feeding skills
