Use of cutlery

Hey guys, my little one’s gonna be 2 in Feb. I still feed her in the mornings when she’s having cereal/ porridge, etc. She can use them, but finds it hard to have cereal or anything runny with a spoon. When are they meant to be able to use them themselves? x

Feeding baby

My little girl really doesn’t seem interested in eating purée food. She doesn’t open her mouth when I put the spoon near her mouth and when I do get some in her mouth she just spits it out

Toddler “friendly” hot chocolate?

My family set up a big hot chocolate station at Christmas and I don’t want my daughter to be left out, but I wondered are there any slightly less sugary alternatives? I’m not too fussed on sugar (everything in moderation) but would like to explore other options first
