So everyone knows about bottle preference, when they realise it's easier from a bottle than a breast and only want a bottle.
This is kind of similar...
I had been loading the spoon and holding it out; baby would then grab it and shove it in. After a week of this, I fed her myself one day because she was insufficiently wrapped up in bibs and I didn't want to ruin her dress. Since then she's had very little interest in feeding herself. I load the spoon, hold it out and she opens her mouth wide but makes no attempt to hold the spoon herself.
Can I really have created a 'feeding preference' in one day?!
Anyone else had this? Will she go back to grabbing the spoon herself eventually? I've always had problems recognising internal hunger/fullness signals myself and really wanted to let her feed herself as much as possible to ecourage her self-regulation.
