I gave Will an empty sippy cup with handles when he started to put things to his mouth a good while back now and gradually started adding water to it. He always has it after he eats and has learnt to tip it up when he wants more water. Its a good habit to get into for dental hygiene and swish and swallow takes excess food off their gums and teeth,
We have managed to make it through all the high alergin foods and eating just about everything now he particulalry loves choping on strawberries I take the green off and he keeps shoving and chewing and becasue they are nice and ripe it sort of melts in his moth same with kiwi fruit is the new fav.
