How do you serve food? All at once or bit by bit??

The mess doesn't last forever!! The only time Jett chucks stuff overboard now is if he really doesn't like it, or he thinks the dog looks hungry sitting below his chair!!! We have a black labrador.....which are reknowned for always being hungry, but we seem to have the only one in existence that is fussy!!!

We had a similar problem here I've recently started giving DS it all at once in a bowl (with a suction thing on the bottom so he can't throw that over the edge) so he can play with what's in there and pull out what he wants. I have found that a lot less gets thrown over the edge now. Like a few others have said I tend to find that when it is getting thrown over the edge it usually signals he's not interested anymore. I also try and ignore it when he does drop something over the edge, I find that if I don't react he doesn't seem to do it as much iykwim?

I agree that it is a phase that will pass eventually

DS use to throw his food all the time but I couldn't give it to him all at once as he would eat his meat first and not eat anything else but if I gave vege's etc... he would eat some vege's and then meat.

I tend to take the ignore route but do agree that when they start throwing it it tends to mean DS doesn't want anymore even if he has only eaten 1 bite... sometimes he just isn't hungry

Goodluck and hope this phase passes quickly for you.
