He did it

[cheryl]

I gave him some carrots and Brokli and he eat nearly all of them, then I gave him some toast and he eat most of it then he eat most of a banana, He loves feeding himself, It just all goes wrong when I give him a spoon LOL, But he knows it goes in the dish then his mouth, i can't believe how much he eat, he has been spitting it out up to then LOL.
I can't believe how cleaver these babies are, chewing and swallowing.

Well done Dylan! It's amazing once tgey get started isn't it!
Have you let him have a go with a spoon himself yet? Give it to him loaded (not much) and see what he does! It takes a while, but Oliver now takes it, eats the contents, then gives the spoon back to me! And you thought the chewing was amazing! We give greek yoghurt with honey or some sort of fruit in it. You could aso try porrdige and other thick things.

yay go dillan! i was advised by the HV to give katie finger foods cos she wasnt taking purees and it helped so much! we've gone from having 1cube of food once a day (apart from breckers) to having a lot of finger foods and if she has purees its 4 cubes!! tis all about independance apparetly!
