To make feeding easier, you can place a piece of non slip matting underneath your child’s plate. This will stop the plate from slipping while your child is eating.
Some children may need further support such as a high sided plate to prevent food from falling off the side, and also supports your child to scoop their food on to their fork or spoon.
Some children dislike their foods mixing together or touching and therefore, it may be beneficial to look at plate separators
