Hi there,
When can I expect my son to feed himself with a spoon from a plate?? At the moment, it's fingers all the way although he does put the occasional spoonful of yoghurt into his mouth. I can't give him the plate of food yet though as it either gets thrown onto the floor or he just tips the food onto his high chair tray and then puts it back onto the plate over and over again. I tried to use one of those sticking mats to put the plate on but he just gets really cross until he manages to pull the plate free. I guess I'm just worried that I'm still dishing out food to him like he was a baby...OOps forgot to mention he is 18 months...
thanks
