We used to give Lucy her...How old is Maddie again?<br /><br />We used to give Lucy her own utensils, but feed her at the same time. That way there's no battle over them, you get food into the hole, and she gets to make a mess and learn all at the same time.<br /><br />I'm so glad Lucy can feed herself now. I remember how long feeding used to take, and how much cold food I ate (I HATE that!). We gave Alice cereal for the first time today, so now it starts all over!<br /><br />Also, we never did the naked feeding thing, because I didn't want to set a precedent with that, or give a signal that it was OK to make a gigantic mess each time. We invested in some jumbo absorbent bibs, and went from there.Carly Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18059852155891559776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26583004.post-29415572009243175252009-04-17T15:11:00.000-04:002009-04-17T15:11:00.000-04:00I agree with Vone.

Austin still uses his hands from time-to-time and I have to remind him to use his fork/spoon. <br /><br />As for Alex, I don't give her utensils. Heck, anytime I try to give her a plate with food on it, she proceeds to dump all the food onto the tray and hand the plate back to me!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16244679727850501210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26583004.post-85380338043186050862009-04-17T13:52:00.000-04:002009-04-17T13:52:00.000-04:00I wouldn't stress about using utensils yet.

She's pretty good now but there are times she still uses her hands. <br />I most the time offer Isla utensils, she tries to use them for a bit. Yogurt is messy so it depends on time if I let her feed herself.Vonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292105498877002485noreply@blogger.com
