Not concerned, just curious. When could your LOs feed themselves with finger foods? DD is a little over 6 months, and has been eating solids for a few weeks. She's all about the purees, and will play...

We started with the mesh feeder and he got that right away, filled with watermelon or banana. (at 6 months). At 7 months he's good at bigger foods, like a banana with the skin off the top, or...

It was definitely after 6 months. Maybe around 7? We started with purees at 6 months, and my DD was the same, just looking and playing around with her food. I would give her finger food every now and...

Between 8 & 9 months he really got it. We put things in a mesh feeder and gave him purées and a few puffs before that.

She would sometimes put food in her mouth around 6-7 months but really got the hang of it around 8-9 months. around 8 months I started giving her cheerios to work on her pincer grasp and it seemed once...

@mfa_lady: It is so fun to watch him try to eat peas, lol. He gets it in his hand but then has a hard time getting it out of his hand into his mouth, he ends up just sucking on his fist. :)

A is trying but it's hilarious because she doesn't know how to open her hand to put the food in. She picks them up with fingers and thumbs, closes her hand, brings her hand to her mouth with mouth open...

J is 7 months and completely refuses purees but does pretty well with finger foods. Some are easier than others but it's fun to watch him learn!

My DS didn't do it until 10 or 11 mos. We don't have a high chair with a tray so maybe that's why it was so late? We always put food in front of him that he was welcome to grab but he just didn't have...

We never did purees. DD started mashing food in her face (like avocado), but I'm pretty sure she didn't actually consume anything until 7 months or so. We followed the mentality of "food before one is...

My daughter is just now getting into at 10 months! It was starting to stress me out but I guess it just took her a while to make the connection that it would satisfy her hunger. She looooved purees...

We did BLW, so both girls started eating finger foods very early. My DD2 never even had purees, so she didn't know what she was missing out on. She was probably *really* into it around 8 months.

We started BLW at 6 months, so he basically ate what we did. He got the hang of it right away.

We only did puree for maybe 2-3 weeks, right before she turned 6 mo. Then we did BLW where she shoved everything in her mouth, but I'd say she got better at grabbing/holding/chewing/swallowing at 7...
