Question

Can a 10-month-old baby eat things by themselves?

Answer

A 10-month-old baby may not yet be skilled at eating things by themselves. If the child doesn’t like to eat, parents can pay attention to the following points:

  1. Ensure the child’s comprehensive nutritional intake and avoid picky eating.
  2. Take the child out for outdoor activities more often to increase physical energy expenditure, which can help stimulate appetite.
  3. Teach the child how to use their hands to eat and provide appropriate practice opportunities.
  4. Wash hands frequently to maintain good hygiene habits.
  5. If necessary, give the child some Spleen-invigorating medicine or supplement zinc elements to help improve appetite.
