Spoon Feeding

Did anyone else go with the parent-feeding approach to foods for your little one? From the beginning we chose the pureed route which we spoon fed only then when we introduced snacks/rice cakes/puffs ect we allowed her to self feed the pieces. She still does this and is great at it, but we still feed her the table food for her main meals. She loves every table food we’ve tried and has no issue with us feeding her and we don’t mind doing it while we’re eating meals together. Just curious if anyone else has gone this route in the past or is currently and how they start trying to transition into them using utensils and stuff without literally pouring food everywhere. Does it just come naturally as she gets older and can understand the concept more?
