Well technically she has been feeding herself since we began the weaning journey because we went down the BLW route. This meant that most foods were cut up in a way that she could hold them and experiment herself.
However when it came to the messy bits, like mashed potatoes, yoghurts etc, I would feed her with a spoon.
In the past couple of weeks, Layla has decided that she no longer wants of needs mummy's help anymore, when I've tried to feed her she has either turned her head away or pulled the spoon right out of my hands.
So I decided to be brave (I'm not a big fan of mess) and this morning I gave her a spoon, well actually she ended up with two, not quite sure how and I also gave her a pot full of yoghurt.....
Ok she may be eating with the wrong end of the spoon and yes I think she wore more than she ate BUT she did it, just another way of showing me that she is growing up.
