kins2321@yahoo.com Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I don't go crazy, about getting them off handfeedings. Kiki, our Amazon, was our only baby, but took another six months to get her off hand feedings. A spoonful of oatmeal, or yogurt, twice a day. I was satisfying her " oral" stage. It took time, but eventually she became the best eater, the best flyer. If a baby demonstrates a need that is not satisfied... satisfy the need, as long as they need it. Of course its just my opinion. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
