Ive been feeding my almost 8mo purees for about a month maybe month and a half. Ive just used the regular baby spoons and he would mostly spit out whatever I gave him. He recently started swallowing a little more but still not a lot. Maybe a teaspoon the whole meal if that😞 And he also would only open his mouth once or twice, the rest of the time Id have to make him smile to open his mouth. But today I ran out of spoons (they were all in the dishwasher) so I used one of the fun spoons we have (I'll put a picture in comments) but it's an elephant and it's adorable, but it's also a magic spoon! Every single bite he opened his mouth and actually swallowed most if not all of it!!! And I tested it with 2 different foods, one that he rejected multiple time before! I was in complete shock cause j thought I was doing something wrong this whole time. Turns out I just needed the magic spoon!😂

You can also let him feed himself, sounds like he’s resisting being fed which is totally normal at this age! It reduces choking risk as well 😊 that gimmicky stuff helps well into toddlerhood, too
