She eats off a fork/spoon when we feed her off of our plates but that's it. I'm going to get her a utensil set for xmas and try then :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-using-utensils-1#post-1164973 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 00:30:39 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1164973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 13.5 months and he used a spoon at around 8 months but then went hands only until about a month ago when he stated wanting to feed himself with his spoon or fork. He won't let me do it much anymore because he wants to and his aim and stabbing precision is not the greatest but he manages to still get a good amount down. He eats with his hands a bit too. Sounds normal to me. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-using-utensils-1#post-1164962 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 00:19:17 +0000 tysonja 1164962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we offered it for fun a few times between his first birthday and 15 months, but really few and far inbetween. he didn't really know what to do....</p> <p>in the last few weeks (~16 months) he's really caught on all of a sudden and can use a fork and spoon well, even for soup! i guess it's just one of those things that just 'click' one day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-using-utensils-1#post-1164870 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 22:37:05 +0000 lovehoneybee 1164870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He used a spoon the first time just before his first birthday. We offer a spoon or fork every time it's appropriate, but it's a crapshoot. He's about 14.5 months and only uses them sometimes. He'll usually take a bite or two with the utensil and then hold it and use his other hand to shovel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-using-utensils-1#post-1164860 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 22:31:47 +0000 googly-eyes 1164860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have tried a spoon once or twice and only one or two bites in all the times we've tried have made it to LO's mouth, but I think we'll keep trying. I have been really inconsistent though. I think we will get her a self feeding/toddler spoon/fork and see if that helps. We'll hold off on chopsticks for awhile, but I can't wait to use the little kid ones. :)</p> <p>LO is 13 months.</p> <p>When did your LO start using utensils? </p>
