How to Spoon Feed a Baby

This task requires the reflexes of a cat and the stealth of a ninja. Proceed to tutorial if you meet these standards.

1. Place happy/hungry baby in highchair. Yes, hungry… she will want to eat, right?

2. Put food on spoon. Yum, looks good so far!

3. Fly food to baby's mouth a la airplane or your goofy tactic of choice.

4. Baby shuts mouth. No, LOCKS mouth shut. No mommy, no daddy... no food.

5. Try again.

6. No luck.

7. Wait for baby to smile and laugh. Use your rapid speed to stick spoon in.

8. No luck. She's much faster. (And, perhaps smarter?)

9. Repeat steps 2-8.

10. No luck. (Yes, she's definitely smarter.)

11. Surrender!! Pass spoon and food to baby. She wins :)

Maybe you have an easy to feed baby out there, but this is our routine for pretty much 99% of the time if we try to feed her! What an independent lady we have… go girl! This is one of the reasons why we do BLW: that girl can chomp a pork chop, suck every last bit from an asparagus, and devour an avocado… but spoon? No spoon. No luck.
