When should you let your child start learning to feed....

I would use two spoons, one for him, and one for you.
I wouldn't really put pressure on him to excel at it yet.

Offer him spoonfuls of what he is having, yourself. But give him the other spoon to hold on to. He may sometimes want to trade you, or take both, or just suck the spoon in his hand.

Give him some time to experiment with his new tool. He will eventually get the idea, between you feeding him and watching you put it on the spoon and his own sppon, and a gradual inclination to put some on his own spoon..

One thing I learned with my babies.. NEVER take their spoon! LOL!

I think my kids were a year old when I started working with them on eatting with silverware but I don't see any harm in letting him hold onto a spoon give him one to use and get one out for you to use too.

Hi there, I let my kids start eating at around 9 or 10 months. I put a big plastic garbage bag on the floor under the highchair and let them have a ball. It was wonderful to see. They both made big beautiful messes and only got half the food in their bellies. I would then hold the spoon and guide it to their mouths and they loved it.

My daughter is almost 15 months and still doesnt eat with utensils lol Give it some time.

I would keep giving him the spoon and show him how you eat and he will learn from you. Good luck hopefully you have this all figured out by now. Good luck.
