She's almost 7 months and sometimes gets it in her mouth. Sometimes it's her eye, though :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/age-for-self-feeding#post-1183883 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:44:11 +0000 loveisstrange 1183883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before a year. She's 18m and can feed herself with spoon and fork, she uses one every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/age-for-self-feeding#post-1183857 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:39:31 +0000 Weagle 1183857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started giving her a fork soon after 1. She half uses it and half uses her hands. We've fed her only a handful of times since then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/age-for-self-feeding#post-1183855 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:39:02 +0000 regberadaisy 1183855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ever since 7 months when we started BLW we let her primarily self feed. I think I introduced a spoon before a year? By 15m she was really good at using a spoon and fork. Now she eats better with a fork / spoon and uses one every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/age-for-self-feeding#post-1183845 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:37:44 +0000 looch 1183845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 months? We haven't fed him in ages, but he learned to use a spoon very early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/age-for-self-feeding#post-1183836 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:35:51 +0000 mrsjyw 1183836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 11 months and he's been making a fuss and not eating if we don't at least let him self-feed a few times. So we are slowly easing into at every meal. We have to help of course, but he gets the idea of scooping food, and into his mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/age-for-self-feeding#post-1183829 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:34:30 +0000 purrpletulips 1183829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 14m and aside from finger foods we feed him. At what age did you start letting your LO try to self feed with a spoon? </p>
