You guys are so great at giving advice, so I'm here to pick your brains again
Basically my 9 1/2 mo ds1 became very hard to spoon feed. so we guessed he wants to self feed, which he does. I think it's fab, and so does he, but I do have a couple of concerns.
- he is eating MUCH less than when spoon fed. I would say that (apart from sunday lunch yesterday, which he stuffed) if I serve a normal amount that I would expect him to finish if spoon fed, he eats perhaps 1/4 - 1/3 of it. I am topping up with milk, which I had previously cut out. I know milk is supposed to provide all of his calories etc til 1 year, but he is not demand bf, but routine ff. So will he get enough to eat if allowed to self feed?
- does it get any faster? meal times are taking about an hour at the mo! as he gets better at getting the food in his mouth, does it get quicker?!
thanks!
