Have 21mth old DS who has always been a pain with food but has now started saying he doesn't want something, I take it away, then he throws a wobbler, I give it back to keep the peace and then it starts all over again. We've just spent 50mins at dinner with him f**king about with pudding for half an hour, I don't want it, yes I do, no I don't..... In the end I took it away and slung it in the bin and he bawled his eyes out.
What does everyone else do? Something tells me I should just say enough is enough and take it away at the first time he does it and then maybe he'll learn, but when he's hardly eaten anything and I can get a few more spoonfuls in I find it very difficult to do.
