Baby manatees, known as calves, typically begin to eat vegetation around 3 to 6 months of age, although they continue to nurse from their mothers for up to two years. Initially, they may nibble on their mother's food, gradually learning to consume seagrass and other aquatic plants. Their transition to a herbivorous diet is an important part of their development as they grow and become more independent.
