It’s completely normal for your baby or young toddler to default to their hands while learning to use utensils! If eating and drinking become slow and laborious, replace full meals with shorter, more frequent snacks. Occupational therapists can advise on eating and drinking techniques and equipment to overcome practical difficulties. I love mixing up the colours for my 2 and 5 year olds’ mealtimes - and there are plenty to go around when friends come over too.Cutlery consisting of a knife or a fork and for use by a person to assist in correct holding of the cutlery, the cutlery comprising a handle portion and a head portion which comprises a knife blade or fork prongs and a small hole which is in the cutlery and adapted to locate a finger tip of the person to enable the cutlery to be held in the proper manner, the hole, for the fork being on the back of the fork and behind the fork prongs, and for the knife, being behind the knife blade. This involves the movement of the wrist and is when the whole hand is in contact with an object, and curved with thumb opposition. Perfect for responsive spoon feeding: Whether you're baby-led weaning, traditional weaning or a combination of the two, the unique design of the Dippit™ supports successful feeding. Throughout the specification and the claims (if present), unless the context requires otherwise, the term “comprise”, or variations such as “comprises” or “comprising”, will be understood to apply the inclusion of the stated integer or group of integers but not the exclusion of any other integer or group of integers.

Thus, it is known to provide attachments to a knife, fork or spoon which can be attached and removed. Why we love it: With stainless steel tips, this adorable set is a great stepping stone to the real thing. There are many reasons why children have difficulty developing these skills; including movement and coordination challenges, learning disabilities and developmental delay. There are systems available that give back a degree of independence to the disabled person, although if they are at risk of choking, someone should always be nearby.The head portion contains the prongs 12 at one end, and a base portion 13 at the other end, with the handle portion 10 merging with the base portion 13. It’s a colourful design, and the shape of the smart, serrated knife teaches toddlers how to push down to cut their food. For anyone, whether able bodied or not, it is best to be sitting upright in a well-supported position. A spoon is, of course, held differently to a knife and fork, and the arrangement here is that portion 15 is covered by the child's thumb. They also come in 3 hues - blue, green, pink - with a cute swirly pattern - and are dishwasher safe.

We recommend introducing loaded utensils around 6 months in our Infant Feeding course – yes, utensils are important in BLW or infant self-feeding! Make mealtimes a learning opportunity: Supporting your baby to explore food independently is a great way to encourage their sensory development, hand-eye coordination, oral muscle development, and the all-important pincer grip.
