When is the right time to start baby led weaning. To teach her to eat using her hands? My one year old baby doesn't seem to take the food to her mouth instead keeps in hand and mashes it till eternity. We're scared if she will ever start using her own hands. She keeps putting everything else in mouth except food. Pl guide
