Title: feeding techniques :)
Post by: kikoz on May 23, 2010, 13:26:17 pm

Hi ladies,

lo is 9 months in a week. we had been offering food in lumps for a while and awlays with a spoon AND with her hand. she loves feeding with hand ( its VERY cute and messy  ::) ).
lately instead of the spoon she likes to have her food with me offering it to her with MY (clean) fingers  :-\
she gladly opens her mouth and not as much anymore than if I offer with a spoon.
I did read the artcle about the spoon refusal...so I just let her eat by herself and enjoy her food the way she does...
BUT will that hinder her from learning to eat with a spoon?

thanks for your thoughts

She's still so little right now, I would just let her enjoy her food  :)

oh she is so little and so cute :):) and the way she puts the food in the bottom of her palm and closes her hand and put it in her mouth is really amasing :p I guess she ll have a lifetime to be eating with a spoon :D
