10 month old not eating with hands
in Baby
imogen is now 10 months and she still wont eat with her hands.
we weaned with purees and finger foods and she was doing fine, now she has worked out a) it can be thrown on the floor b) it can be smushed up in her hand and then go on the floor.
how do i stop this?? i cant keep wasting food?

oliver is the same with food, he think's it's to be thrown (with force) from his high chair onto the floor and he also squeezes it in his hands... think it's a phase like they are feeling it and exploring/playing with their food. oliver throws his football (small one lol) when he gets hold of it, so he has learnt this as a game and perhaps see's it as a game at dinner as he is now throwing everything! dummy, remotes, my blackberry, his toys lol,
not sure how to stop this, but i think it is something we may need to ride out? lol, at least we are not alone ha! xxx
Good luck!
shes gotten a lot better in the last fortnight and seems to enjoy making mess now lol
I would also get involved in something else (like washing up) so she knew she wasn't going to get a reaction from me.
You could also offer plenty of opportunities for messy play / exploring textures throughout the day so that your lo doesn't feel the need to do it so much with meals.
