Giving your baby time

Your baby is now fifteen months. You are feeding your baby with a spoon, at times she holds the spoon and helps you bring it to her mouth. She is letting you know that she is ready for that experience ,in orther words she is ready for the next stage of develoment,learning to feed herself with a spoon. Now you should add a spoon to the baby's play items. Many of the baby plastic spoons  have a long handle you should cut the handle. You want your baby to be able to manage the spoon. You must be in tune with your baby in order to read these cues.Adding a spoon to your baby's play allows her to practice her hand/mouth coordination, she will not be able to pick items up  in the spoon  because she must first practice getting the spoon to her mouth. She will also put the spoon backwords in her mouth. This is all a partt of the developmental process.
You will observe  her practicing on her own. This is called discovery.Learning should not be stressful because this will become frustrating  and will turn your baby off.It is important that you help your baby along the developmental stages  by allowing her to practice her new discovery.
