Puffs and pincer grasp

in March 2012 Moms

Can anyone's LOs feed themselves the puffs? I've been putting some on DD's tray after meals to see what she will do and she usually gets them in a fist or weirdly between her first and middle fingers, but doesn't even try to put them in her mouth. 

Am I too early on this milestone? Just wondering...she can't hold her bottle and sippy cup is a disaster and I know a few LOs on here are pretty good at both of those.

    Nope! Looks like the Claire's are right there with each other. She holds a bottle and sippy only when she wants to( most of the time she is lazy and wont do it). She started holding on to the table and walking around it yesterday. They need to slow it down... my baby is growing up way too fast.

    Sometimes DD gets them to her mouth, sometimes not. She's just learning to pincer grasp but even sort of grabbing them with her fist, she does ok. She is much better at those little rice cups since they are bigger.

    After about a week of me showing DS how to eat them and putting them in his mouth, he has finally started picking them up and putting them towards his mouth - meaning, he knows that they are something to eat but he can't quite coordinate his little fingers enough yet to always get them there.  It's actually really funny - I look over at the tray and they are all gone and I get excited that he ate them but really he maybe got two in his mouth and the rest are in his bib or stuck to his clothes somewhere!  Give your DD a little more time and she'll figure it out!

    Lisadfox- my LO is the same! I put them infront of him and does nothing but play with them in his hands lol. He also doesnt hold his own bottle or sippy cup. I'm sure they'll get it soon...we just gotta be patient. But, isn't funny how they put the rest of the things into their mouths? like toys and stuff? lol crazy little ones!

    Lol, yes! Everything in the mouth but food! She does like eating them when I give them to her so it isn't an aversion.
    Also, aeh, I find them everywhere! The dog is loving this. He waits under the high chair.

    jonathan will only hold bottle for short period of time. and usually when he holds onto it, he wants to just play with it or throw it.  He just this week started getting the hang of grabbing puffs and putting in his mouth.

    he would pick them up before, but just throw them around.  now he knows they are food and puts them in his mouth. i only give him one at a time, because he tries to put them all at the same time. but 90% of them time the puffs end up being thrown instead of in mouth.

    My daughter is now refusing all purees... but loves puffs!  She does feed herself... but she has her brother to watch as a model.

    Her brother, though, didn't feed himself ANYTHING until 10 months, 1 day.  The only reason I remember is because he had to figure out how to walk first.  He was fully walking at 10 months old exactly.  The next day he finally picked up food and fed himself. 

    My point?  All kids develop differently.  Enjoy the fact that you feed them the puffs... DD is making an absolute mess with anything she feeds herself.
