It's a relief to know we're not the only ones spoon feeding. We have Austen (finally) eating a bit at school and he does a few bites on his own each day at home, but he's still mostly spoon fed by one of us.

Mine has, every singe day, a pre-mixed bottle of Carnation Instant Breakfast. I'm convinced it's the only thing keeping him alive. Occasionally he will manage a few bites of dry cereal. Oh, and I spoonfeed him a Boston Cream Pie yogurt each morning, because it's the only thing he'll eat. Love the bowl! Clever. :-) Oh, I’m just dying to know what your son eats during lunch.

I think my son would have an easier time lopping off an appendage than eating a "forbidden" food. Wouldn't matter if Mario and Luigi spoon fed him themselves. That bowl is adorable!

I'm tired of do gooder busy-bodies trying to tell me how to raise my kids, when I am fairly certain that the meals we feed them at home are probably healthier than what they feed their kids at home.

Kind-of on the American concept of making words out of alphabet soup. Hiss on the woman who advised you on feeding, but you aptly expressed your understanding of her (unknowing) perspective. You are most diplomatic, Maddy. And so, whoever wrongly judges mothers-who-spoon-feed their children, so also they might judge those who tube-feed, eh? Feeding our children...one of those definitions of motherhood on which we are judged. Thank goodness for your children, you are over that. Standing with you on life-sustaining calories over social pressure. Love the bowl, too! Kind-of on the American concept of making words out of alphabet soup.
