Blowing raspberries in her food
in Baby
Hiya
my DD (5 months) has just started blowing raspberries when she's eating! I don't think it's the food she's eating that she doesn't like because she's had it before & loved it!
Is this just a game? How do I stop - we're both getting splattered :roll: and carrot is not a good look
Thanks xx

My LO used to do this and my immediate reaction initially was to laugh. This in turn reinforced his behaviour and so he kept doing it as it provoked a reaction from me. I soon learnt to keep a straight face. Basically make sure you're not giving a positive reaction to reward the raspberry blowing.
I was able to tell when he was going to do it and so I would quickly move the spoon away from him. He picked up that blowing raspberries meant no food! (Sounds like I starved him, he he, I didn't! I meant no food momentarily).
He doesn't tend to blow raspberries anymore but for some reason does sneeze during feeds?? The other day I had on a black jumper and was feeding him porridge.... you can guess the outcome!
Babies eh, who'd have 'em? ha ha

thanks for your reply
oh I bet the porridge was a very good look tee hee!!!
No well I am good really and don't laugh at her so I have no idea why she's doing it! Am hoping it's just a phase though eeek xx
