Spoon Feeding - Beverly,MA
Can one of you refresh my memory. About what age, should/could a child start spoon/child safe fork feed themselves? Rather than eat with their fingers all the time.

My son is a year and a half and is using a spoon and fork pretty well. He still loves to just shove in the food, but will use utensils for most of the meal.

Well I actually just took my son for his 15 month check up. His pediatrician said I could give him a baby fork so he gets the feel for it and try to show him how to use it. Eventually he'll get it on his own...like everything else, when he's good and ready! Hope this helps!
