A. Yes you can teach your child to self feed from now itself. it is a good idea You can start with semi solid food, boiled finally chopped vegetables, fruits. make sure you are always there to supervise Don't give things like grapes, pomegranate and remember to keep very small bites infront of your kid. don't leave your child unattended at all.
