I must admit we ignored this as a baby as we didn't want to discourage her from eating/give her bad associations with being told off at meal times. But its being going on for nearly a year now and I'm starting to get annoyed seeing my home cooking thrown on the floor!
She eats the items she likes, until she has enough and then they get thrown on the floor. She immediately throws the items she doesn't like on the floor.
I've tried ignoring it, giving her positive praise when she doesn't do it, keeping her entertained during mealtimes so she's not bored (its much much worse when she gets bored), getting stern with her and I'm embarrassed to say more recently shouting. But nothing's working! I've tried getting her down from her highchair as soon as its happened but she's very low weight so I worry she won't have had enough then.
Has anyone had this and conquered it? Thanks in advance!
