chewing the spoon!tips from other carrot-covered moms?

[*happy*]

i have been giving my DD solids for a week now & we're getting on ok-ish!!!hard to know if she's taking much tbh!every time i go to take the spoon from the bowl,she wants to grab it & put it into her mouth herself...cue lots and lots of happy chewing on the spoon while most/all the mush goes on the walls/floors/me!any advice? i've tried giving her her own spoon to "play" with,but she just chews that one instead & i cant get ANY food into her mouth!at least when she's chewing my spoon, she's getting a little taste....

Sounds like she may do better with baby led weaning... my DS did the same thing and we abandoned the spoon quite early and did BLW instead

Oh, and feed her outside if you can
