A thirteen-month-old child can eat many of the foods adults eat together with them. Eating together and developing the habit of eating at the table are important. The table should be set at home for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the child should eat with the adults. At this stage, the child can gradually pick up food by hand and bring it to their mouth.
If we decide it is time to eat before the child is hungry and feed them through conflict, we are doing the child harm. We should allow the child to become hungry and help them eat willingly and enjoy the food. A thirteen-month-old will take the food they need from us as long as we allow it and do not argue with them over food.
Foods that are bad or forbidden for us, such as excessively salty dishes, are also harmful for the child. Apart from these, we can share most of the food on our table with a thirteen-month-old.
