When did you let your child use the spoon?
Zeke is 10 months old and does great with picking up food and eating his solids and snacks. He is starting to show more interest in the sippy, but not fully yet(he will drink out of it if I hold it) I am not to worried about that because his daycare said that once he moves to the ones room, they usually pick up on sippys quickly to fit in. Anyhow, my question is, when did you let your child attempt to feed themselves with a spoon? He enjoys playing with the spoon and will imitate us so would this be a good time to start?

You can go ahead and let him start trying now. I started him right about the same age, but he really didn't get the hang of it until he was over a year old. LOL, He still has times where applesauce somehow ends up all over the place!

Yes. Let him have a spoon but still feed him, and maybe put something on the floor for the mess as he will miss more than he hits. But you should be guided by what he wants to do, and if he is interested, let him have his own spoon.

My opinion is that he should try using them right away because it is a less messy way to eat and there is no danger about using spoon because it is round unlike its counterpart, the fork.

About 4 months younger than yours is. Why on earth have you waited so long?
It takes kids a long time to learn to use a spoon efficiently. You "let" them try the moment they can hold it!
