Me feeding myself with a spoon at 14.5months.
Sorry, don't know why can't upload the video.
Mummy breathed a sign of relief when I finally managed to feed myself with a spoon.
She had hoped that I will be able to feed myself before I turn 18 months cos she's worried that my new school will not actively train me to self-feed.
Anyway, here's what you need to make baby self-feed less messy.
1. bib with catch-all pocket/ tray.
I'm wearing a Bumkins Superbib, available at Mothers Work Baby & Kids, Tanglin Mall Level 3.
My korkor used Sassy EZ-Clean Pocketed Bib and Crumb Catcher Feeding Bib.
(click to see my korkor feed himself at 17months)
These were great too but they comes with cloth binding while the Bumbins bibs are full nylon so it dries faster.
2. Bowl with suction base
(keeps the bowl on the table and from moving about)
Mine's from Sassy - comes with lid so we can bring the bowl out.
3. Newspaper
to cover the floor below baby's high chair so you can just wrap up the messy after the meal.
Babies, have fun feeding yourselves!
