My dd is almost 13 months....When did you introduce a fork and spoon so that they could do it themselves (or try too?)  Thanks!

Pretty much straight away for us. DS is highly independant, he always needed to have a spoon in his hand whilst I fed him with another one. Its a messy time but oh so fun to watch!

You should give utensils now, including a fork with rounded tines.  We gave them to DS pretty early and although it was messy at the beginning, he's now pretty good at 2 years old and feeds himself.

We were giving them by that age as well.  The more they get to practice with them the sooner they will start using them!  :)

Same here!  Dylan's had his own spoon since about 9mo or so.  At first he just waved it around while he ate with his other hand ::) but eventually he got the idea!  Started giving him his own fork around your lo's age, a gerber one with rounded tines as pp described.
