Small pieces of food are good - This is very important and must be considered seriously when the baby eats using its own hands. The food must be given in small pieces so that when the baby eats the food it doesn’t get struck up in the food pipe creating issues to the baby.
Soft food must be given - It is very important that the baby chews the food that is given to it. Hence soft foods must be given to the babies.
While serving food don’t leave the baby alone - It is important not to leave the babies alone while serving food to them as it would result in the food getting struck in their throats. The babies face great discomfort due to this.
Don’t give sticky foods - This is also an important factor to consider when the baby eats foods by using its own hands. Foods like caramel, peanut butter etc stick on the mouth of the baby creating issues.
