Mom's of SW....

I am taking all the advice I can get in teaching my baby to self feed. Instead of letting me feed him or give him sips he's now grabbing everything from me when he's in his high chair. Relentlessly. This is part of the process and he's learning, I know and I'm letting him him have the bowls and spoons and cups and food to feed himself. But he isn't feeding himself lol he's making a mess. I'm just worried he's not getting enough solids now. Any advice welcome, you guys always have great tips : )

That's normal. My daughter does the same.

Its sensory play. If you can get him the once upon a farm pouches, she usually eats that.

Fruit, she eats, sucks all the sugar and throws it on the floor, never actually eats it.

She loves to eat whatever im eating, so ill show her what/how i eat.

Also, she loved steak since 6 months.

@SW-User awwww. How old is she? Steak puree right? I'm terrified of giving him non puree foods but I did do a super soft cubed sweet potato yesterday which he did great with. And some sliced blackberries today, I don't think any made it to the mouth though lol

@Notsimilarreally shes 1 year 2 months.

No, we give her the whole steak. Its too big for her to choke on lol but she gets a piece and cant swallow it she spits it out.

You gotta keep trying even if they dont eat it lol

@SW-User oh I did see a video the other day of like giving a baby something to big for them to bite, a mango seed, but they can suck on it. I am gonna do that. Maybe give him a whole steak too hahaha. Aww time flies huh. 🥰

@Notsimilarreally haha yeah, doesnt need to be the whole piece. Just big relative to them lol

Maybe give him a wagyu ribeye 🤣
