I had to do this with Addie, and yep, she was five months old. This included wet food. I phased it out by getting closer and closer to the bowl until my hand was in the bowl when she ate, to her just eating out of the bowl without my hand there. It took awhile, but then you have to make sure she's eating enough when you feed her. I still left dry food out at all times in case she would eat on her own.
