Hey, ladies... My son is still not self-feeding very well. He CAN feed himself, but he won't... I'm so frustrated... I feel like he should be feeding himself much more, and he also won't eat the 3rd foods... he gags himself on them every time I try them... He can feed himself cheetos, suckers, those gerber graduate things that look like cheetos, the gerber graduate yogurt melts, small pieces of fruit, he even has tried pieces of cooked potatoe and I gave him some turkey sandwich meat... He will seriously only eat like 2-3 bites of anything by himself, then throws it down and hollars for our food which I know he can't eat, so then I start feeding him his baby food, and it's like a fight to the death... you know he's hungry, but I have to put my hand on his head with a pillow behind his head before he'll open his mouth for a bite and half of the bites he slings his head around like he's just so mad.
I just feel like he's behind in this area... he's using a sippy cup, he's running around everywhere, trying to talk, pointing, but meal time is like torture... what are y'all feeding y'all's little ones?
How is the self-feeding going for y'all???
Oh, yeah and he only has 2 teeth (bottom front)
