Hi All,
I've been worried about this for a few months now and even after talking to our pediatrician I am STILL VERY worried. My 12 month old DS will not self feed. I've tried everything you can think of to encourage him. Different types of foods/textures, put it in front of him and left the room, sat on the floor in the playroom with finger foods and tried to make a game of it...etc. He will feed ME things but hasn't thought to put it in his own mouth (he puts everything BUT food in his mouth). He also won't hold his own bottle (sigh).
I think I have just resigned to the fact that he will do it when he is good and ready, but I guess what I am looking for is someone else that has had a problem with their baby doing this at this age.
Any stories you can share would be comforting.
Thanks!
