Chewing food, then putting it back on the plate (19mo)

[Ladylove]

My CHN says this is totally normal for around this age, in the case of my DD it was 18 months when I asked her about it. They get bored if they are not getting instant 'results', they want to try that other morsel on the plate right now, they don't like the feel of it in their mouth once chewed... Many reasons but most grow out of it.

Spock did that too at that age, still does it a little bit, but not as much. She use to always do it with meat, eg steak or stir fry meat...like she would chew and suck all the stuff out of it and all that was left was a dried up colourless flavourless tough bit that she would put back on her plate. Now she does it if she sees something else yummier and will take what she has currently got in her mouth out and put something else in.
