STOP Spoon-Feeding Your Baby: Do this instead

What if your baby only likes to eat from a spoon? How can you help your baby eat more independently? It’s fine to use purees if you’re doing baby-led weaning, but we want the baby to be feeding themselves and not the parents force-feeding. In this video I’ll teach you how to do the pre-loaded spoon approach:

1. Which spoon should you use for baby-led weaning?
2. How do you pre-load a spoon for baby-led weaning?
3. How do you progress to more finger foods?
4. When is it time to size up to a bigger spoon for my baby?

My son is almost 16months and he doesnt want to feed himself at all. Starts crying immediately when I try to guide the preloaded spoon to his mouth. What can I do? It’s so frustrating!

[verenahaidacher]

Hello, what can I do when my 7 month old baby cries and gets very angry when I take the spoon out of his hands to preload it with more food?😢

[WhimsicalCrochet]

What if your baby won’t eat finger foods at all? My baby gets mad because she wants to actually eat a good amount of food and when she’s eating finger foods she isn’t able to get much in her belly. She also sometimes tries to grab food, but her grasp is so strong that she squishes it everywhere and it never reaches her mouth.

[Margots_mini_meals]

My baby is happy to finger food, but when it comes to foods like oatmeal or Spag Bol, she likes us to feed her. She can use the spoon to feed herself but will never get her hands in to feed and prefers to sit back and for us to spoon feed her. Any tips to get her feeding herself? X
