Has anyone else’s toddler reverted back to using their hands more than cutlery for feeding?

@Anisa no it’s good insight! I just wondered if it was common was all. Her Nigerian side eats with their hands commonly too, so it’s just about how to encourage it in the right moments 🥰
Yes mine has started doing it with rice and also yogurt 🙃🙃
Yes! Was much better using cutlery before
Yes she has! Drives me mad. I just had to look at her and she gives me a cheeky grin and picks ip her cutlery! lol x
@Ru yoghurt?! Crying tears for you!
@Cara same here, really don’t know what’s happened. I reckon they’re just over it and remember their hands are easier?
@Lauren honestly! We have to keep reminder her that the fork/spoon isn’t there for emotional support and is to be used 😂 at least your little girl knows!
My LO uses them interchangeably. When he gets frustrated with a spoon/ fork, he uses hands. Sometimes he uses hands because he feels like it that day 😅
Yes, I just leave him to it as long as he eats his meal 😂
Occasionally. She’s not eating well at the minute though so I don’t mind as long as food is getting into her mouth 😂
Okay, thanks all! Good to know it’s not a odd thing 😂
Yes we have - but to be honest culturally we eat with our hands a lot too, so we’re trying to balance what we practice culturally but also encouraging use of utensils. Sorry I don’t know if this helps you or not.
