valkryorSo we've started down the slippery slope that is spoon feeding. When I first started, Shannon would scream and scream because she was hungry and what the hell was I trying to do with that spoon?
She no longer screams, but I'm getting frustrated because she keeps pushing it out with her tongue, no matter what the consistency. Am I doing something wrong or is this part of it and I just have to be patient until she figures it out?
Recent-ish advice would be appreciated, since (according to my mother) it seems that I was already feeding myself at 6 months whilst standing on my head...:P

(it IS hard to figure out how to use the tongue to PULL food into the back of the mouth to swallow. Keep trying, she'll get it!)
(oh, and take tons of pictures with her with food all over her face. She'll love it at her wedding. Honest.)
