My daughter is almost 11 months old, but does not have any teeth yet. She is s very good eater, but I think wants to be more independent and feed herself. I have given her bits of fruit, cereal,and  crackers. I may just be overly cautious because I still chop and blend her food quite well because I am afraid she will choke. With the pieces so small she has trouble picking them up. I have offered her the spoon with food and she will sometimes try to feed herself, but she of course likes using her hands and she gets frustrated when more of the food ends up in her lap. Any suggestions on other foods I could give her good sized pieces so she can pick them up. I have tried using the netted feeding bags and she will have nothing to do with them.
