Throwing food

That's just a toddler thing lol but get a silicone bib thank me later :) lol

I had seen in instagram a mom had purchased a thing called catchy
That you attach to your high chair!

I would give my son a extra empty bow and I told him to put any food he didn’t want in the bowl. When I go get him out of his high chair I ask him if he’s done and have him put his spoon on the extra bowl so I know when he’s done

We are in the same boat. The key is not to react when they do it. We thought it was because of the cat but it’s not. It’s a phase, which has been going on for weeks.

I feel like this is the second time he's gone through this exact phase. He did it at about 6 months and I first went straight to punish ment and realized he didn't understand so then I ignored it and it went away. Now I feel like I failed actually teaching him it's not ok behavior because I ignored it. Maybe the key is to not ignore it just not react? Idk.

that's a good idea I will have to try that

might try this myself.

you’ve not failed. At this age they’re processing so much and learning new skills so to them it seems normal. I changed my phrasing to ‘that belongs on your plate doesn’t it?’ We even stopped putting the plate there in case it was overload and just put bits of food out at a time which works most days. If they’re hungry enough they’ll eat.

ok that helps I may try that I did notice when I take the plate away and just give him a piece or 2 he does eat it. So maybe it's just too much for him right now. Thank you!

it’s all trial and error. We even change feeding location and let her take her time. I’m hoping eventually she will just eat everything I feed her.
