Hi hoping for some advice! My 22 month old daughter has suddenly decided this week she is not sitting in her high chair for ANY meals. I've tried her on a dining chair with a booster - this worked for all of 5 minutes. She's been just running up to the table grabbing snippets of food! Obviously this is not acceptable and aside from the manners element, mess etc she is not eating enough. For context she has multiple allergies dairy,soya , coconut, wheat and egg. Getting her to eat can be challenging and she has always had disrupted sleep as I think she is hungry at the best of times. I don't need people telling me I'm too soft on her as I need her to eat more I'm just wondering if others had gone through this phase and had any tips. I don't mind trying something new or different just can't have her wandering around every mealtime barely eating. Thanks so much in advance for any tips - my other baby (now 17 years oldSmile didn't do this so feeling a bit lost )

Can she not just sit on a normal chair? We gave up on the high chair and booster around age 2
