Fork feeding

Introduce fork feeding after they mastered using the spoon and have a nice pincer grasp for self feeding.  Again, we look for kids to be capable of using a fork by age 2, although most will prefer to use their fingers, which is fine. Kids are capable of using a fork around 15-18 months. I introduced shay to a safe toddler fork. He used both hands, which is fine at this age. With my help,he enjoyed eating chocolate chip pancake with fork.
