Suddenly throwing food?

My one year old is now suddenly throwing and spitting out food and I’m not sure what to do. She’s always been a great eater and never picky about anything. But now any food I give her she’s instantly throwing or taking bites but spitting them out right away. She’s starting occupational therapy soon for sensory processing difficulties but foods never been an issue until the past 2-3 days so I don’t think that’s it? How can I get her to stop?

It’s a developmental phase (good sign!). My son just turned one and also started throwing food. This too will pass!

I think it’s a phase

My baby is now 13 months but he did this from 11-12.5 months

Omg! My son just turned one and doing the exact same thing!!!

Normal to throw food

My daughter drops food on the ground especially when she's full and bored lol

My son started doing this and being picky. He started on real food but i always have baby food just in case he isn't feeling real food. I switch back and forth between the two that way I know he's still eating and getting the nutrients. He'll throw tantrums and throw his head back if he's not interested in actual food so I just bring out the baby food and he'll eat that.

hmm, maybe she's just exploring her food in a new way? kids can be so unpredictable, like one minute they love broccoli and the next it's flying across the room, lol. just keep offering it and try to stay chill about it! I actually checked the 'Heal App' for this and here’s what it says: "It's understandable to feel concerned when your child suddenly changes their eating habits, especially after being a good eater. First, try to remain calm and patient; this behavior can sometimes be a phase. Offer a variety of foods but avoid pressuring her to eat, as this can create negative associations with mealtime. You might also consider making mealtime more engaging by involving her in the process, like letting her choose between two options or helping with simple tasks. Since she's starting occupational therapy, it might be helpful to discuss this behavior with her therapist, as they can provide tailored strategies that align with her sensory needs. Have you noticed any specific trig
