Normal babies can use chopsticks at the age of two, depending on their baby's situation. Because some babies can't use chopsticks, parents can also teach their babies to practice more, so that they can develop independence and eat by themselves. In this case, it is also good for their babies and parents. We must strengthen their diet.
Children who are too young have underdeveloped brains and are not suitable for sharing chopsticks. Coupled with the lack of muscle strength in the hands, the baby is unstable with chopsticks. Moreover, premature use of chopsticks can easily lead to baby contusion and lack of enthusiasm for using chopsticks. By the age of three, the brain and mind are relatively mature, which is also the most critical period for intellectual development. Chopsticks can be used at this stage, and there are many benefits.
