I thought my lo wanting to feed himself was such a great thing... I know I'm supposed to be laid back about the whole mess thing but it's getting crazy!! If anyone would care to share tips on how and what they started giving their lo to assist them in feeding themselves, that would be great. My ds is refusing to be fed by me at all, if it goes in his mouth it's with his hands- and last night's cereal EVERYWHERE episode was a little too much :shock: , I need help. Plus, I'm not sure any of it gets in his mouth.
I do finger foods like cheerios, puffed wheat, cooked/soft fruit or veggies, but that infant cereal is supposed to be a main part of his diet (needs the iron) so I guess pointers from someone who's been here would be good. He's only 8 months, I thought he'd let me help him out a little longer!!
