I've got a couple of questions:

  1. When did you give your baby a bowl or plate? I put Maya's food on the tray of her high chair. But should I be giving her a bowl or plate instead? I have tried a couple of times and she sucks on the bowl instead of eating the food.
  2. Maya eats quickly to begin with and then slows down but continues to shove food in so that at some point her mouth is full. Then she just stops eating but has a mouth full of food. I assume it's when she's no longer hungry but is still interested in putting food in her mouth. I'm not sure what to do about it. I try leaving her in her high chair until she finishes it. But she will get annoyed and can sit there for a very very very long time without any progress on the food but getting very frustrated. I worry about taking her off to play with a mouth full of food. Isn't it a choking hazard? Any ideas?


Thanks.
