Don’t worry, actually:) at this age, he can have his meals while being spoonfed, and then you can give him snacks (puffs, yoghurt melts, baby biscuits,etc) to encourage him to pick them up and feed himself. Even if that is just on weekends. You can also let your helper give him these baby friendly snacks once a day on weekdays to encourage picking up self feeding skills:) Not too late to learn at all!
