Cecilia - 9 months old (countrysidemontessori.org)

Starting early is really the key. We did other unorthodox things that impacted her success at the weaning table: no crib but a futon on the floor allowing more independence to move around in her room, giving her choices before she could speak by letting her reach out to one thing or another, etc start with very small pieces of food. Be patient. Quit when he/she gets tired or starts to push things around the table. I would be happy to answer questions if you are giving it a try.

Kathryn, I'll check back later today if you have posted a question. Wendy
