Self feeding
I feel embarrassed but my son isn't showing any interest in self feeding still. He loves food and will hold it but it's like his brain can't connect the idea to put it to his mouth... How can I encourage this? Anyone else the same?

@Tasha I eat lots around him 😔 what are weaning wands?
@Tasha He will hold these but doesn't put them to his mouth for some reason. If I break it up into small pieces he will eat it though so it's not like he doesn't like them. I just feel like I'm failing and don't know how to help him 😔
Oh no every baby is different. As long as he’s eating and healthy, I wouldn’t worry too much right now. Can discuss it with your HV though and maybe they can help. Anything that uses a spoon, if I just try to give it to him, he will just play and never put it to his mouth but other stuff like pancakes and fruits he does. I’m sure it will just click for him soon xx
Thank you so much! I hope so 🤞🏻x

Sorry not experiencing this but have seen other posts similar on a different platform. Some suggested for you to eat in while he’s eating so he mimics you. Try things like weaning wands?
