@keiylad97 So glad he ate! Being put in a different container is pretty common for tiny corns. Heck I have an adult that to this day won’t eat until I wrangle him into a small container. But most will eventually learn to eat from tongs.
When he is a few months older and regularly eating then try tongs. Put him in a container that’s only for feeding and patiently work with him offering food on tongs right in his little face. Braining can also help with learning tongs mean food.
But don’t feel bad if he wants to always eat from a container. Nothing wrong with that either.
