I haven't really found a sollution for that except sitting her on my lap so I can tell what she's doing with her head since she is moving it against me. I fed all of my kids in their highchairs but this little one I prefer to feed on my lap.  She isn't very mobile though so it's easy to do that.  If your little one moves around a lot you might try feeding her while standing behind her?  Not sure, maybe others have ideas on that.

>> Hi Sabrina,
>> Is the problem more from her spitting it out or from it falling off the spoon?  If it is the latter, then I recommend trying one of the spoons that you fill the handle with the food then squeeze it onto the spoon from the handle.  Boone makes one and Munchkin makes one, and I personally like the Munchkin spoon better.  It eliminates the mess on the back of the spoon and it's pretty easy to fill the spoon without over-filling it.  It doesn't work quite as well as the food gets thicker but for the real thin stuff it works very well.

>> Anyome have any suggestions if we aren't fast enough with the food to her mouth she cries. Obviously we can't be as fast as someone sighted.
