I did BLS, but I don't think fingers and yoghurt would have gotten much down!
I spoon fed my DD her yoghurt, which she L.O.V.E.D. - seriously, she would have sold her soul for yoghurt. I gave her another spoon to hold at the same time. I've heard of others who load the spoon and let their baby guide it. BTW, I have video of my DD spoon feeding herself butter chicken followed by yoghurt at 11 mths of age (very neatly, I might add, DD didn't believe in wasting food ), so those early spoon handling efforts obviously paid off.
Because they are used to managing their food themselves I think you tend to find that whatever foods require a spoon you'll generally have baby trying to help out anyway!
The idea is as Barb said, they have what we have. So if you're having soup - give her soup, and of course you'll have to do the spoon bit for now! She'll probably also enjoy playing with a bread roll and dipping it in, just like you do.
