Silverware?

How many of you are letting your kiddo practice with silverware on a regular basis, and how is he/she doing with it?

  • I will answer too. We have been doing loaded spoons wit R for months (where I put something on the spoon, then hand him the spoon and he eats it. He's really good at that. I have just recently started giving him a fork with his meals. He seems interested in holding it and jabbing at the food with it, but he still ends up eating with his hands.

    @pinottoparenthood‌ if he seems interested try giving him the spoon instead of loading it cause a spoon is way easier for them to use than spearing with a fork.

    Really? I guess with something like yogurt he could! But it seems like most foods would just fall right off the spoon when he tried to lift it to his mouth.

  • He uses a fork at most meals and is pretty good with it. He uses a spoon maybe a few times a week and does okay with it, but dumps an awful lot on the floor.

  • There are times DD3 won't attempt to eat unless she has a fork or spoon. We give her one or the other at every meal. She does well with a spoon with thicker yogurt. Forks she does okay with but usually needs some help stabbing.

  • I put out a fork or spoon (whatever seems more appropriate for the food) at every meal and he complains if I don't. He can actually feed himself Greek yogurt with a spoon fairly well. Everything else is pretty hit or miss.

  • Just started letting her have utensils. She is better with a fork. My 3 yo still uses fingers about half the time.

  • Warner consistently uses a fork and spoon well, and sometimes chop sticks (although mostly just using a stabbing or dipping method)

    Ughhh that's so cute! I am dying to take Rhys to sushi, although he'll have to eat a veggie roll due to his potential fish allergy.

    Most foods do at first, regardless of whether you're starting with a fork or spoon. It's all part of the process of learning how to use them. :)
