My just turned 1 Yr old DS is a food thrower and I need help! He is very much a picky eater as in he loves to feed himself little bits of toast, cheese, pancakes, carrot sticks, peas, tomatoes, fruit etc. He will eat off a spoon but only if he can do it himself. I put the food on the spoon and leave it on his tray and he picks it up and feeds himself. He won't eat a meal of say spaghetti bolognese, shepards pie etc just picky bits. Anyway, we literally have to feed him one piece of cheese at a time otherwise it all goes on the floor. If i give him 2 bits of cheese he will chuck one straight away and eat the other. If I gave him a selection of things on his tray that I know he eats they would all go on the floor except one. This morning I tried with blueberry and banana pancakes that I made him and I put small pieces on his tray and they all went on the floor apart from the one he ate. He is exactly the same with his water. He loves water and drinks loads but as soon as he is done he chucks it on the floor. I don't react to it as I know he will treat it like a game. It is frustrating but manageable at home as I have a mat down so it isn't much food waste but it is so hard going out. We can only eat in very child friendly places and either me or DH is constantly on our knees picking food up off the floor or trying to catch his water bottle before it hits the deck. It is getting to me now. What can I do? Does anyone have any tips? I know things are bound to end up on the floor with a 1 year old but I can't keep giving him one piece of food at a time forever. FTM here and at my wits end!!!
