what ever works for you <a href="http://app.babychakra.com/user/106941"><b><font color ="#3b5998">Rakhi Puri </font></b></a>:) self feeding is a very old weaning process. thats how our ansestors used to feed babies. puree n mashed just started 10-15 yrs ago. i have 2 kids and meal times are fun for us. i dont cook anythimg extra and i dont have to feed them :) they eat family food. my 19 month old holds spoon and eats on her own.

and domt worry about gagging. thats a part of learning. like all babies fall and then learn to walk&nbsp; ??? i dont know any baby that walked without falling or tripping... i hope.m making sense ?? in the same way. gaging is a way to chewing. it happens as they learn the bite size to be put in mouth.. if we feed them.<br> they never learn that. best is to show how to eat. eat with them.
