Not sure if this is the right place to put this post, since my DCs are 11 and 8 now. I did baby-led weaning with both and it was marvellous. DS (the older one) took to it like a duck to water at 5.5months, and he's been a great eater ever since - loves all kinds of salad, fruit, etc. DD is more picky but is still very good about eating veg at dinner.
What I've been struggling with is DS's table manners. He still instinctively uses his hands to grab things like lettuce out of the salad bowl, or eats cooked broccoli pieces with his hands. I've told him so many times to use cutlery/utensils, but he doesn't remember. He also stuffs in massive mouthfuls rather than using a knife & fork to cut the food up.
Is this a consequence of BLW? Does anyone else have this problem?
