My DD is 10.5 months old and is very keen on feeding herself. She's been eagerly grabbing the spoon out of my hand and shoving in her mouth with great effectiveness from about 8 months. The problem is she now wants to load the spoon herself and can't get the hang of it which is resulting in her getting very frustrated and upset at mealtimes and not eating as much as she used to.
I've bought a couple of plastic spoon shaped forks but she doesn't get on very well with those either and has more difficulty getting the food off them than with a spoon. Obviously she could just use her hands which she does a lot anyway, but given that she's so keen to use cutlery and actually quite good at it so far I'd like to encourage her. Can anyone recommend a good fork?
