DD is 10 months old...never a huge eater, quite independent - doesn't like being spoonfed and prefers to self feed (although not convinced she actually eats much that way).
Anyway - while feeding herself she has a go at everything and accidentally drops some food which is fine, but more often these days has started dropping things on purpose. Now I know playing with their food is an important part of her development...but am starting to wonder how I can encourage her to stop dropping food on purpose! She doesn't do it maliciously. Not sure she really understands "no" yet - when I say no, she stops and looks at me so I think she is starting to understand, but will continue to drop food.
Any tips? Is 10 months too young to start worrying about it, or have I missed the boat completely and going to have a lifetime of chucking food around! Am getting tired of spending as much time clearing up after each feed as we spend eating!
