How do I teach my 16month old to eat using a spoon?

He's fine to feed himself using hands otherwise we spoonfeed him. BLW has just been him exploring food with his hands really! How do I transition to a spoon, when I've tried he just grabs the spoon and puts it in his mouth/plays with it rather than actually eating food with it - any advice? X

Just keep offering it and showing him how to use one whilst you eat too. He will get it quite quickly I expect, my boy started using one around 11-12m and it took a few weeks I’d say

As above. Just keep giving him a spoon and use one in front of him and he’ll get there.
