Parenting Tip #4

When your babe starts eating real food, chances are they will love, love, love to grab the spoon you are using to feed them.

This can prolong feeding time and create conflict when you try and pry that spoon out of babe's clenched little fist to get the next spoonful.

Solution: Give babe a second spoon to hold. Babe will grab spoon you are using. You grab babe's spoon.

This trick worked beautifully with Maxman and Hops & Barley, Avo, Camo and I witnessed it work last night for the lovely M-Bot.
