hi ... my dd started eating with her hands like at 9 months , and by 13 months she was a pro( no more food in eyes or nose , lol), everyone told me that I was spoling her because she would be eating with her hands forever ... but thankfully I proved them wrong , like at 14 months i gave her the spoon , and she only used as a toy as she would use her other hand for self feed ... I would be with another spoon feeding her while she played , and ate ... needless to say It only takes practice , as by 18 19 months she could feed herself with the spoon , but with mess , and now at 25 months she can even take soup with a spoon and use the fork for cheese and chicken ... she still gets some food on her lap , but we can go anywhere and sit and eat normally as she will self feed ... yei , as i am pg with baby number 2 ... So dont worry , every baby is different but for the most part they just need time and to make all the mess they can .. good luck !!
