Hi
Ava's 15 months now and we do a combination of letting her feed herself (finger foods) and for dinner (vegies, casseroles etc) I spoon feed her though I am letting her have a little go here and there of using the spoon herself.
She loves to feed herself, with sandwhiches I cut into small pieces (one piece of bread ends up in four little sandwhiches). With fruit I just cut into pieces she can manage, she likes cheese (grated, cubed, sticks), and we give her biscuits, cruskits, dried fruit, toast, pancakes, boiled or scrambled egg - all sorts of stuff she can pick up and feed herself. I generally just put little bits at a time on her tray because if I put a bowl of food in front of her she either hoovers it all quickly or tips the bowl upside down but again I am letting her have a go with a bowl of food from time to time so she can learn.
