DD is 16 months old - should she be feeding herself meals (as opposed to just finger food) by now? She's not a good eater, not that fussy about what it is but often only eats a tiny amount and frequently spits out mouthfuls before accepting another one. She can feed herself with a spoon or a fork so is capable of feeding herself meals but I worry she'll eat even less than if we spoonfeed her or will she just eat what she needs? Any advice/experience of this appreciated! Thanks
