baby spitting food everywhere

Just hand her the spoon and let her feed herself. It sounds like she’s just resisting being fed.
@GMF we’ve tried it but she hasn’t learnt how to navigate the spoon herself yet
@Nikki I’m glad mine isn’t the only one, we’ll hold off on feeding her the food for a couple of days and see how she goes with doing it herself. You’re doing great 🤍
Mines refusing being spoon fed. I've tried giving him his own spoon but that just ends up being thrown
@Helen I would still just keep trying and she’ll get the hang of it. It’s ok if not much gets in her mouth at first.
@GMF thank you. I’ll perservere with it x
My son did this for a while, feeding him different foods helped a bit, he preferred real solids as apposed to purées or mashed textures! Things he liked: cooked carrot sticks, omelette fingers, toast, banana fingers, raspberries, sausages, broccoli! I really believe it’s just a development thing, remember they still get all they need from milk and food isn’t massively important (within reason) until a year old!
Put the food on the tray. Let her eat with her hands. Yes it will get messy but she'll be able to explore more
Since she’s wanting to eat independently try maybe letting her learn to use the spoon in her own!! My little girl did this around the same time and we eventually realized she just loved doing things in her own!!
@Helen navigating the spoon is a learning process as with everything else! She’ll struggle for the first little while just keep showing her and eventually she’ll wanna do it on her own!! Even try putting the spoon in her hand and you guide her!
Never had this issue but seems to me she is over the purrees and wants Whole Foods ☺️
Mine is literally doing this right now she refuses anything off a spoon outright so I’m thinking I have to lean more heavily on the finger foods
