When will this stop??

[AliBaby]

I am so sick of making food and it being chucked on the floor!

At least the dogs are well fed but really that's not the point is it!

I say no and she shakes her head but then will just go on a chucking frenzy and then chuck everything!!! I think its frustration that I said no.

Also I don't want this to become a habit. I dont so much mind if DD doesnt want to eat something - We do BLS so its always her choice but when we go to others house, I hate that I have to try and catch stuff before it gets chucked over board.

So when does the throwing food and drink off the high chair stop? Any suggestions on how I can get it to stop as well would be appreciated.

DS1 is a big chucker and drives me in sane!!

Sometimes I think its when he doesnt like it, other times he has had enough, other times for attention and others cause he knows dogs will come in to clean up his mess!!!

I have found if we let dogs in when he still has stuff on tray he then chucks it to floor for his 4 legged friends!!!! grrrr

We say no over and over again in varying tones and it makes no difference so we end up taking rest of him and getting him out of chair!

He is 21 months old and still doing it if its food he has to feed himself.

Good luck

Thanks Feeb. I think I am going to have to learn to deal with it but I will try not letting the dogs in until afterwards to clean up.

Yeah, I've got no help either. I've got a chucker - his sister never did it. I've started feeding him lately. He seems to much prefer eating exactly what we have just spoonfed as opposed to the abridged finger food version and eating none. We don't have dogs so the poor sucker who cleans it up is me alone.

It gets chucked over here too. Mostly it's when he has finished and is full or when he doesn't like something. It's how I figured out he doesn't like tomato, and a few other things. Lol
He thinks it's funny some days and laughs while he's doing it. I scream on the inside those days.

Good luck. I'm not any help cause DS1 wasn't into the food throwing deal. He used to just gobble it all up. I'm hoping it passes soon though.

Dd does it too. I never spoon feed so i am used to food going everywhere. As long as she eats something I don't really care...the worst part is all the effort that's gone into preparing the food. So now she just has left overs or whatever we have. The less you invest in the meal the less the pain when it paints the walls table and floor.

this too shall pass...

i'd go for spoon feeding as well in that case

I found my kids would prefer to play with the food rather then eat it so i stopped putting it in front of them and spoonfed instead.

much cleaner

When you know, let me know...

Ash still does it. I've tried everything. He will eat a little, throw a little, eat some more. I've tried taking it off him, telling him off, growling, smacking his hand. Nothings worked yet...

eat on the floor then there is nowhere to throw it
