Self-Feeding The Reluctant Eater

Self Feeding

With your baby's newfound independence at this stage, you may find that feeding becomes a battle-ground, where he insists on spoon-feeding himself, and doesn't actually complete the task with much efficiency and most of it landing up anywhere but in his mouth. Try giving him a spoon of his own to play with while you feed him, this way you are encouraging the skill of self-feeding and ensuring that your baby eats the right amount. This won't always work though, so it may be a good idea to invest in a waterproof sheet or some old newspaper which can be placed under his high-chair at mealtimes and whatever you do, don't make an issue at every session, as you will just be risking future permanent eating problems.
