Worried that baby doesn’t want to eat solids on his own

Hi mummies, My 9 month old boy doesn’t want to put food in his mouth on his own. He loves to eat when I feed him or somebody else feeds him but he doesn’t want to put food in his mouth by himself. I feel very guilty and bad that I didn’t do baby led weaning the beginning when he started solids as with full time work it is very difficult. Will my joy never eat on his own or eventually babies learn to eat on their own? Sorry to sound like this but this is my first baby so I am a bit worried. Any mummies who experienced this can give me some tips please ? #advicepls #firstmom

Why worry? I was a spoon fed baby and now my mom wished that I could eat lesser 🤣 My baby is also 9mo. I imagined blw but in the end I feed her and I’m loving it. She eats snacks like biscuits and puffs on her own. I wouldn’t worry cause come on, who wouldn’t learnt to feed him or herself one day?
