    I was feeding my boys their solids tonight and I had to keep getting up to get a new spoon. I would feed one and he would hold onto the spoon. Instead of wrestling it away from him I got up to get another to feed his brother. Naturally he too held onto the spoon. So basically it takes 3 spoons to feed two babies. :rolleyes: How many spoons do you go through?

    Hmmm. Just one for us. I guess mine aren't at the grabbing stage yet. They do a little, but it's not that hard to get it away from them.

    If I'm the only one feeding the babies then we use 2 spoons (1 for the yogurt and 1 for the food) but if 2 people are feeding the girls then we use 4 spoons.

    3 spoons, constantly rotating. I also have a sink full of hot soapy water at the ready for rinsing the spoons that they throw on the floor.

    Just one for now. They do try to grab, but so far I can hold them off! :lol:

    Just one, but when they were grabbing we would give them one of the plastic links to play with. Now they are more interested in playing with the high chair tray. I'm sure that newness will wear off soon and they will be after the spoons again.

    I usually just use one, I have to wrangle it away from them though. Sometimes I use 3 tho!

    At that age only one. If they tried to get it from me I would take it back. DH let them have their own spoons once at that age and they ended up gagging themselves with it. Now however, we use LOTS of utensils for feeding, but we are learning self-feeding so that doesn't apply to you quite yet. ;)
