So B's ped asked if she could use a spoon and I said no, because she just doesn't need one. She doesn't eat anything that would require a spoon. So......this is a really dumb question.....what do you feed your toddler to get them to use a spoon on their own? What age did you introduce utensils? Should I be trying a toddler fork with her? BTW she's 16 months and has ZERO teeth. I cut everything into chunks and there's pretty much nothing she can't shove in her mouth and chew with her gums.
TIA and please don't look down on me for stupid questions! lol

So I guess a follow up questions would be....do you use a bowl? I feel like it would just get dumped on the floor! lol
The kid loves cottage cheese....double fists it into her mouth! Maybe I'll try giving her a spoon to help with that!

Because of her bad reflux we have had a dietician working with us for months now. She suggested just letting DD play with her spoon at first. So I'd give her one and she practiced putting it to her mouth. Usually she just puts it in her mouth and chews it but she does get food in there sometimes.
I take her hand and help her to scoop something onto the spoon and bring it to her mouth. Something like oatmeal works well for that.
I usually have to hold her bowl or it gets dumped but we've been practicing it and she will now reach into her bowl without picking it up and dumping it out.
So really it just takes practice and be prepared for some messiness!
