Hey beautiful mommys! I have a question that I hope some of you can help me with. I am a first time mommy. I have a 10 month old daughter who refuses to finger feed herself and refuses to hold her own bottle. She has the ability to do these things. She just doesn't want to. My question is, has anyone else gone through this with their children? How do you get them to start feeding themselves? I try to show her by picking it up and putting it to my mouth hoping she will imitate but she won't. I try to put her own hands towards her mouth and she resists with everything muscle in her little arms. Lol. Same when I try to put her hands around the bottle. I'm not sure what else to do. Any suggestions? Or stories?

Thanks @beebaby! She basically just smushes things in her hands. She doesn't bring anything to her mouth. With her sippy cup I try and have her hold it but she pulls her hands away. Haha so I put it in front of her and she tries to put it in her mouth but doesn't know to tip it up yet. She's just very resistant to holding her own bottle or cup. And with food she just likes to smash it lol. I assume she will eventually learn. But, it's just so frustrating 😊
I would put her hands on the sippy and lean her back in your arms. Let her do it that way. Even hold it with her maybe. But I used to help my son at first and then he did it himself. Same with food. They really wanted to do it themselves.
