9 1/2 month old dd being a little madam and refusing the spoon completely. I have tried the two spoon trick - NOT interested. She only has two and a bit teeth but can manage cheese sticks and pizza - that sort of thing. Fruit just seems to slip through her fingers. Ideas please? I have a freezer full of stuff she won't eat and nothing else in the house! Angry

Will she let you put stuff in her mouth with your fingers?
Things that work for us (DS 7mths) - Shreddies, Cheerios, grapes cut width-ways (he chews them and spits out skin), cooked carrots, beans, baby sweetcorn, new potato, chicken, tiny sandwiches, breadsticks with cream cheese on, pasta. He is No2 so tends to get bits of everything put on his tray to try.
