Girls whose children eat by themselves, right?

Girls whose children eat by themselves, right? I know that many teach from 6-7 months. But alas, I didn't. I fed them myself until today, with a spoon. And now I want to teach her to hold a spoon and eat herself. But it's not working yet she puts an empty spoon in her mouth ? I doubt she will learn this. I think she needs to grow up, or should she start learning to eat herself at this age?
