When to start a spoon

Question

My son is 10 months old and I’m wondering when is a good time to start giving him a spoon when he eats. At my last wic appointment they told me now, and that seems crazy so I was wondering when your little ones started eating with a spoon.

Answer

Since 4 months we’ve been giving my son a spoon.

Answer

Mine had a spoon before 10 mos. I helped him at first and then he started wanting to do it on his own. So we both held a spoon since he got very little in his mouth. Then he started getting better and I stopped helping.

Answer

At 9 months my daughter could feed herself porridge and yougurt with a spoon. Although very messy. At 12 months she can feed herself only making a mess on her face. 
She was never spoon fed, we did BLW.

Answer

Mine has been holding a spoon since around 7 months. I’d say she has very limited success actually eating with it but she does put it in her mouth when I’m feeding her and sometimes it has food on it lol.
