How do you feed solids to your twins?

Mine are little vultures and I need to shovel it in spoon after spoon otherwise the hands and bib are in their mouth and they are yelling at me. Feeding them together is insane. Im using one bowl with different sections and 2spoons. Can I use one spoon and just shovel alternately or is that gross. I was going to give one a small bottle and feed the other but ped said to feed for first. Does it matter?

I always fed them out of one bowl with one spoon. They swap and mouth their toys, they swap bottles. They feed each other. If one gets sick, I am sure the other one will get sick anyway because they share a room and when they were babies they shared a crib. Although they rarely do get sick.

one spoon one bowl. You will find that soon, once they become more mobile that all they do is swap spit

I guess they do chew and drool on the same toys lol

I will try shoveling at warp speeds then. Seriously! I need to have a spoon ready to go in as soon as they close their mouth.

Once they get to the stage where they can feed themselves I gave them a ton of the organic baby foods in pouches. Those things are a godsend, just unscrew and hand them over. I used to carry like 8 of them in my bag at all times. I would rotate out all the flavors. Also really awesome not having to pack and clean utensils.

I give them half a bottle to calm them down first, then like everyone else, one bowl one spoon. Baby I is patient and sweet. Baby J is impatient and screams the whole time, lol!

ditto- one bowl one spoon. I found it takes the same amount of time and one baby since one has to eat whats in their mouth while the other gets fed. Put toys on the tray or if they are ready the baby puffs.

LOL, I am so surprised to hear we all did the one bowl one spoon. I thought I was the only one and that people would think I was being lazy.
