[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is nearly 14 months and I still feed it to her. She is allergic to eggs and I like spoon feeding her part of her meals because finger foods are such a mess and i feel like it would otherwise take 40 minutes to an hour for her to ingest enough calories. I am wondering if I should stop, though I am not sure about what to give instead.[/quote]

Let her get messy. It’s part of life. She’s never going to learn if you don’t provide her with opportunities.

There are lots of other foods other than eggs?

I mean, adults still eat cereal, but by 14 no, your child can and should be eating a huge array of foods, properly sized. Look up kids eat in color or one of the jillion and one feeding blogs online about BLW (which your kid is a little old for, but you could get some ideas). Eggs is a limitation, but not prohibitive. Hummus, yogurt, lentil (or any) dal, tofu, appropriately sized meat shred, toast fingers, crackers, Cheerios, pretty much any fruit and vegetable, etc.... etc
