Utensils

Hi everyone, when should I start introducing utensils to my 14 month old girls. they eat really well on their own eating their own. But, I was just wondering when I should start giving them a spoon and a toddler fork. TIA!

 

I'd say we started giving them to them around that time, mostly just for practice. They were not that great with them. They really got good at using utensils sometime around 20-21 months, if I remember right. But practice makes perfect, you just have to deal with the mess for a while.

 

I started around 15 months or so just giving them baby spoons to hold while I fed them or they fed themselves and now they are using them a bit to feed themselves.

 

We started around 18 months with forks/spoons.


With my oldest DD we started around 15 months.
