9 mo won't feed herself anymore - BLW

DD is 9 months now and previously has been pretty good at feeding herself. But in the last fortnight or so she's refused to pick up food and eat it, instead throwing it on the floor very deliberately. She'll only eat if I put bite sized pieces in her mouth - and then she'll eat loads and shout for more!

Is this normal? She's breastfed but isn't "demanding" anything like the number of feeds she used to so I'm concerned she's not eating enough to make up for that. Any ideas on how to get her back to self-feeding and save my poor floor and my sanity?

is she teething, do you think? I wouldn't put bite-sized pieces in her mouth, it's a choke hazard. you're probably better off giving her mush on a spoon.
the dropping is TOTALLY normal, have a look about half way down on left for fb discussion of very same.

When I say bite sized I mean swallowable whole but that's a good point. Teething v likely and she's a bit coldy at the moment so I'll give her some mush and see how that goes. Thanks!
