He loves to play with the spoon now but hates to eat from it. He likes self-feeding, but sometimes he gets hungry or frustrated and prefers me to pick the food up for him. I bet as she gets more practice, she'll move toward feeding herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-lo-dislike-spoons#post-1991095 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 23:37:55 +0000 fussygal 1991095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: so odd these babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-lo-dislike-spoons#post-1990447 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 17:10:44 +0000 ellewoods84 1990447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is a bit younger (7.5 months), and we started purees at 6 months also. She liked them for the most part and was eating around 5 tbsp a day. But, the past couple days, she won't eat them off a spoon either! But if I give her something out of my hand, she thinks it's delicious! So weird! Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-lo-dislike-spoons#post-1990363 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 16:18:47 +0000 fussygal 1990363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO disliked spoons at first, when did they eventually start to let you use one for feeding them? </p> <p>We started purees at 6 months and she was into them for a few weeks, but quickly started refusing them 80% of the time. I always figured it was the purees she wasn't into, but I think a large part of it is the spoon! This week (8.5 months) I've started giving her chunks of my food and she LOVES it, but will only take food if I hand feed her with my fingers - no spoons! It's pretty cute because she's SO into it and dives for my fingers if I have food on them. I'm definitely not worried about it, just curious about the experience of others :) </p>
