Self Feeding

Self-feeding is an important milestone that most babies are ready to pursue at around 7-8 months. A baby is ready when he or she can sit up independently and has started to practice a pincer grasp of picking up small objects between the thumb and pointer finger. Practicing self-feeding is vital for developing fine and visual motor skills as well as developing tactile sensory processing as they touch, grasp, and squish a variety of food textures.
