My dd is 18 mo and without fail at every meal, deliberately flings good amounts of food on the floor - or more recently at me. She doesn't seem to fling it because she's full or doesn't like it - if i offer her more of the same she'll take it happily, have a few mouthfuls then bam! the rest is on the floor. Her appetite is good and she's not a fussy eater, she'll happily try most things.
She's been able to feed herself finger foods for quite a while and is quite confident with a spoon or fork now, so i don't think it's frustration at not being able to feed herself. I've tried everything i can think of - not reacting, just taking the food away, saying "No!" in my best
Mummy-Means-Business voice.......all to no effect. A relative recently said i should "knock that on the head as soon as you can" but they didn't tell me how!
Advise please!
