I spoonfed my kid for 2 years. In between, she got to pick up things like baby biscuits/puffs/yoghurt melts to self feed. Less mess, less food wastage, I’m perfectly happy with my decision. Trained her to use fork, spoon and kid chopsticks later on. No issues:) Of course, she still spills some food now (4yo), but definitely not as much as if she were a baby.

I held her hand holding the spoon for self feeding training since maybe 18 months Introduced the fork and showed her how to coordinate the fork and spoon at 2+. By then, she could use the spoon. Chopsticks started closer to 3. The most dangerous thing in parenthood is comparing ourselves or our kids to others 😂 Whether it’s for milestones or school results and work accomplishments (when they grow up). You’re doing a great job:) enjoy the journey!
