Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By age 7 to 9 months, an infant has the developmental coordination to pick up and handle utensils through a refined pincer grasp.This allows her to be more active in participating in her feeding, as well as in signaling when she is done.Falling asleep when sated is common in infants up to 3 months of age.From 4 to 6 months, fussing, crying, or losing attentiveness toward the food and paying more attention to the surrounding environment are signals of being done eating.A 10- to 12-month-old infant will hand her mother her cup or bottle as a signal of being done.
