DS is 2 and 3 months - will eat greens(some) and a huge variety of food (so long as it is sausages every other day!) but WONT feed himself. Have DS2 to look after as well (baby) so very very fed up shovelling it in his mouth. Help?

Espace, don't feed him!!!!!! Of course he will carry on letting you as long as you do it!!! Put the food in front of him. If he won't eat it, he gets no food, he gets hungry. It won't take long for him to realise that he has to feed himself in order to eat. It will do him no harm at all to go hungry and you can count on the fact that it won't last long. Good luck
