    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.
