Hi all.
DD is 8 and half months and is doing fantastically well with the weaning. She loves her food and will eat anything I give her. She cut her first 2 teeth at 5 months and the 2nd 2 have just emerged so I've been trying to get her into biting small mouthfuls out of a bigger piece of food e.g. some toast, but she just rams the entire piece into her mouth abd then chokes! The amount of times I'm ended up with her entire meal coming back up because shes vomited to clear whatever shes rammed into her mouth!
Is this normal? I can only get her to eat tiny pieces that ive cut up really small. She then chew it for a while and swallow it fine. But sometimes she tries picking up several pieces at a time and stuffing them all in!
Will she learn by herself? Am I rushing it? or is it something I need to teach her about taking small bites?
In some of the weaning books Ive read it says to offer chip sized foods for them to grasp and bite off the ends but she never ever does this.
Just need a bit of clarification -
