My baby is 1 yr old. She does not eat anything by herself. I mean her hand and mouth coordination is yet not developed. Is this normal? She does not know how to take finger food to her mouth.

A. Hello my dear parent! It will take some time for babies to understand the pattern. You can try serving your baby small quantities of cut fruits and vegetables and serve in cute Babyhug bowls to encourage your child, eat well
