10th January 2026 – (Hong Kong) The nine-month-old son of former Miss Hong Kong Louisa Mak is capturing attention for his advanced developmental progress, with his grandmother sharing glimpses of the infant’s notable hand-eye coordination and early moves toward self-feeding. In a recent online post, the child was seen deftly catching a dropped pacifier from his highchair tray and accurately returning it to his mouth, drawing praise from watching adults for his budding independence.
The child’s development is being gently encouraged through a parenting philosophy embraced by Mak and her husband. Her mother revealed that the couple has begun introducing “baby-led weaning,” an approach that allows the infant to self-feed appropriate solid foods, exploring textures and tastes at his own pace. This method mirrors that used by Mak’s mother in raising her own children.
The family advocate cites several benefits of the practice, suggesting it helps build a child’s sense of self-efficacy and independence from a very young age. They believe it supports sensory integration, fosters a positive attitude towards food, and encourages concentration during mealtimes. The overarching principle, as shared by the grandmother, is to nurture growth within a “environment filled with love and trust,” expressing confidence that her grandson will continue to develop happily and healthily.
