what age should a toddler be picking up utensils
When can my baby use utensils? Your baby probably won't be able to feed himself with a fork and spoon until he's about 18 months old. But once he can sit in a highchair and feed himself at least part of his meal with his hands (which many children master by 12 months), let him experiment with a thick-handled, rubber-coated spoon. Wait until after your baby's first birthday to let him try a fork.
Once she's been using utensils for a few months (around 18 months), she'll be quite good at it and you can introduce more fun and challenging foods like soups and longer noodles. 1  Up Next. 2  Up Next. Article. 3  Up Next. Article.  Up Next. 1  List. Up Next. Video.
