If he’s a picky eater try to give him a variety of foods at each meal. Just lay out some fruits, veggies, meat, or anything you can think of. Maybe you could also try making him a smoothie with milk, and some fruits and veggies. He may like it if its made as a drink. This way you can give him the fruits and veggies and the same time. Also what I did for my son is put a variety of healthy snacks like cheerios, crackers, etc. and put it no a little tray on a table he could reach. Throughout the day he would pick on it every so often. Does he take a vitamin? If not maybe you can ask his dr. about one so he’s atleast getting some of the vitamins he needs each day.

Now that your baby is over 12 months, his growth is naturally slowing down and he doesn’t have to eat as much as he did during his first year of life. In order to get him to eat adequately and be independent, you might try giving him some soft food that he can bite of such as cheese, tender chicken, small meatballs, cooked vegetables and small pasta.

My edited the following,In the blog: ask a toddler or healthy food for children.
！！Advice :Socialize your baby early with plenty of play dates, Gymboree or Mommy and Me. If you hate baby-related activities, take her out to lunch with other people once in awhile.
Question–: When did your toddler do well eating when using a fork and a spoon.?
I have a 20 month old daughter. I started introducing a fork and a spoon during eating time. She seems to do well using a fork. There at times she has a hard time with a spoon. When did your toddler start to use a fork and a spoon very well.
I notices she got some food on the spoon but she puts it upside down that the food like pudding and yogurt fall off.
thanks

my son is 2 1/2 aand really didnt’ get the hang of silverware until a couple of months ago. until then, everything would just slide off because he would tip it upside down lol
Answer by DAWK1723
I gave mine a fork when they could feed themselves with their fingers. They messed, but it was teaching them how to hold one and use it. My girl is 3 and is a pro with a fork now and wants to help cut things, but I only allow her a play knife with supervision.
You’re doing fine. Give her a few more months and she should be learning by then better how to use the fork.
She hasn’t got the concept of it yet. Help her hold the spoon upright to show her how to get the food to her mouth.

In daycare we give cutlery to 2-3 year olds & they sometimes drop the food off the fork or spoon but at least they have the opportunity to use them every meal time.It’s like everything else that they do-it will come with time & experience so keep encouraging & praising.
Answer by I love my Jackson
My 22 month old son almost has it down. He still occasionally turns the spoon upside down when its almost to his mouth and it ends up in his lap, but for the most part he can use silverware. However, he’d still prefer to use his hands b/c he’s faster that way.
Answer by Lilly’s mommy! is EXPECTING
Mine’s 16 months and she is pretty darn good at it, but she still has a ways to go before she can just go at it without creating a mess (most of it on her)
Answer by Hot Momma
Im a nursery nurse and look after 16 months to 2 year olds, at first they need help getting the food on the fork but can put it in their own mouth and by 2 they are all feeding independently. I had the same approach at home with my 2 children and started teaching them to feed with a spoon at about 1 year old. Starting them early will encourage Independence but don’t force it if they need help.
Answer by Brooke
My son is two, close to 2 1/2 and still struggles with spoons and forks. Most kids don’t get good at it until older, from what I’ve seen with friends’ kids, it’s closer to age 3 when they really use them well.
Answer by jaydens_mommy.
my daughter is 24 months and she started using them both good around 18 months.
Answer by Hippie Tree Hugger
I have a 20 month old daughter, too:-) She’s been using a fork and spoon for awhile now, but is far from an expert at it. She does better with the spoon, but almost every meal time she uses her hands half the time and the utensils the other half. Generally the utensils end up on the floor before she’s done. So I’d say your daughter is probably right on track. She’ll get better at it. . .although I know it can be aggravating when they have a spoonful of something and turn it upside down, lol.
