Should I be concerned?

DS will be 19 months next week. He is developing on track with everything. He is talking up a storm, walking, running, etc. My only issue is that he can yet use a spoon or fork to feed himself. Since birth he has always been a lazy eater. Doesn't want to work to get the food. He wouldn't nurse because he didn't want to suck. If I put food on the spoon, we will put it in his mouth but he won't scoop food onto the spoon. Any advice! Happy Holidays!

I wouldn't be too concerned. DS can use a spoon but not a fork. Kids develop at different rates some are good at something while behind on other.

I assume he will gladly pick up food with his hands and put it directly into his mouth?

If so, I wouldn't worry at all.

Thanks ladies! i think DH is more concerned then i am. he eats perfectly with his hands.

Since he eats with his hands, I wouldn't be concerned. K can eat with chopsticks, but still hasn't mastered the spoon.
