[blparent] helpful tip for spoon feeding

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I don't mind cleaning up the mess, but I do get self-conscious if others are 
around.  I have one friend who tries to step in because she can't stand to 
see food on the baby's face.  Sometimes I let her take over, or let the 
baby's dad do the feeding, just so I can have a little break.

It is easy--terribly easy--to shake a man's faith in himself. To take 
advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work. Take care of what 
you are doing. Take care.--George Bernard Shaw in "Candide"
