I never intended to BLW my DD, now 16 months, but gave her a lot of fingers foods from day 1 of weaning and she really enjoyed feeding herself and soon enough was refusing to take anything from a spoon, except for porridge at breakfast, so we allowed her to eat everything with her hands.
We've been putting down a fork / spoon with every meal that we use cutlery with, to try and encourage her, but she's just not interested and wants to use her hands.
So my question is, those that BLW, how did you get your DC to use cutlery and when did it happen consistently? With my older DS I spoon fed him and gave him finger foods and we moved onto his using a spoon too and by the age of DD he was using a spoon by himself so I haven't a clue what to do!
