Abstract
The proposed research aims to investigate the relationship between baby-led weaning (BLW) and fine motor development among children aged six to twelve months, by assessing video data collected during a normal mealtime. We expect higher levels and more diverse fine motor movement during self-feeding than during parent-led feeding.
