DD (2.10) has started holding food in her mouth after meals. For up to four hours! She secretes it in her cheeks like a fricking hamster. It's driving me demented. She won't eat it either, eventually we lose it and tell her to spit it out and I've tried ignoring it but it doesn't seem to help.
She barely eats anyway (though you wouldn't know it - she's the size of a four year old in height and weight) and what she is eating is being digested mostly in the mouth and not the stomach it seems.
Anybody solved this? It makes me physically nauseous when I see it. And quite cross to
I don't want her to teach DS (1) who is copying everything to do it as well!
