Hellobee Boards

Try now! I let her start right before her 1st bday with some fruit and oatmeal.

We let our LO feed himself with a spoon at around 14 or 15 months. He wasn't very good at it (so messy!) but we let him practice anyway. Now he's almost 2 and he's really good at feeding himself with a spoon with all kinds of foods, except soup or anything liquidy. It's NICE to be able to plop down his bowl of food and just let him feed himself!!!

I give LO a spoon now (at 10 months) but there's not much accomplished except a mess at this point. She doesn't really seem to have the coordination yet. So she just uses it as a drumstick.

I have a spoon thief so we let her try to feed herself when she does get a hold of it. It's messy but she has fun.

Charlie started doing an ok job of feeding himself at 12 months with a spoon. We gave him a fork at 15 months? And chopsticks at 27 months.
