Aiyah, this is such a good sign lah, at least dia nak makan now, kan! A few of us tried the self-feeding thing around this age and honestly, yes some jatuh jatuh, but the ones yang masuk mulut tu usually enough especially if you're doing three meals plus snacks. The rejection when mama feeds is so typical at this stage, dia nak assert independence; one of my mum friends just let her son lead and she'd sit nearby with extra food ready, and she said within a few weeks dia dah more confident and actually ate better sebab dia feeling in control. I'd say don't worry too much about the wastage, at 1y2m, exploration IS part of learning to eat, and most of the nutrition comes from what actually reaches the tummy, not what touches the floor! Keep offering, keep encouraging, and trust the process lah.
