My 11mo son is not keen on being fed solids - he likes to feed himself! So he's only really happy eating foods if he's put it in his mouth himself! But this is a very messy experience, especially as his favourite meal time activity is often mushing up his food and squeezing it etc. In any case, it's difficult for him to chase peas and other food objects around on the tray of his highchair, making the task of self-feeding even more difficult! I think he needs a bowl - but he'll just dump the entire contents on the floor! So...would a suction bowl work, or do babies just pull them up anyway? I've never tried them before, so don't really know what they're like! I found one in Tesco today, but at £3.50, I was reluctant to buy it without knowing it would be any better than an ordinary bowl. Just hoping someone who's used one can let me know if it's worth buying or not! Thanks!

are suction bowls/plates any good or just useless?
