ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist4 years agoA. dear children should be encouraged to start feeding themselves from as early as 8 to 9 months when you can begin giving finger foods
right now a child is above 1 year you should definitely encourage self feeding in a separate plate let her join the family mealtimes together without any distractions of television or gadgets
you may also begin with non Messy finger foods
