[blparent] i have a question about feeding babies baby food?

[Jessica Silva]

Hi,
So I actually had this problem myself when feeding my baby when I started him on baby food.  The one thing my baby actually learned to do himself is bring his mouth to the spoon once he understood the food was supposed to be gotten off the spoon, so now when I feed him, I just scoop it up and hold it close to his mouth and he pretty much does the rest.  Also, a good thing to do too is put the jar or bowl of food under his or her chin if you can manage it so that way if the baby dribbles it won't get everywhere else, just back in the dish.
Hope that helps

Hi,

Not sure if there is an easy way, but what I did was put the food on the spoon and hold it where my thumb was underneath the edge, then use my other hand to find her bottom lip. That way you can make necessary adustments as the little one turns their head.

Hope that helps,
