Hello Mummies. My baby is 10 months old now and I'm doing BLW with her. Right now I am guiding her to self feed using fork and spoon for Rice with soup and when she's eating noodles. But she prefers to use her hands instead and will not drink the soup. How do i get her to hold the fork and spoon? She throws it every time I try :(

One of my friends shared that she will help to teach her baby by placing her hands on her daughter's to guide her daughter. This will teach her daughter how to scoop the food and bring it to her mouth. She also eats together with her daughter so that her daughter can model after her. Another tip she shared was to start with food that has a thicker consistency. She suggested yogurt (which was the main food she used when teaching her daughter how to use a spoon) as it is not as watery as compared to soup. Soup could be daunting as the baby's coordination may not be as good yet. Hope this helps! Good luck!
