Not self feeding

Does anyone else's baby refuse to feed themselves? My baby is 8 months old, and no matter what I put in front of her, she just doesn't want to touch food, but she will happily eat it if I feed it to her by spoon or with my own hands. I know it takes some time but I feel defeated 😩 Trying to remind myself to lower my expectations and let her go at her own pace.

My son has been doing this the past couple of months, he definitely knows how to feed himself but I’ve come to realize he’s very lazy Lol and prefers for me and dad to feed him instead of doing it himself. I wouldn’t stress too much over it and enjoy the baby-ness while it lasts Lol because it goes by all too quickly anyway ❤️

my daughter doesn't even really eat food, like at all lol. just keep offering in various ways and he'll start feeding himself before you know it (:

Oh my gosh, same. Not exactly the same but My daughter will play with food if it’s on her tray but doesn’t want to put it into her own mouth. She’ll take whatever I feed her of course.
