what i would do if it is a family meal is just leave him to it. Tell him "no we dont throw food" and leave it where it is. Eventually when he sees everyone else sitting at the table eating and talking he may stop. ]]> Wed, 19 Sep 2007 14:48:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10841&PID=215877&title=food-throwing#215877 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10841&PID=215854&title=food-throwing#215854 Author: emmaohara

Yea his weight is quite low, hes never been a big eater so I've tried the grazing method!! but I really want him to understand that he has to eat some meals in his highchair with the family and not throw it all!!

Thanks for the advice ladies ]]> Wed, 19 Sep 2007 13:45:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10841&PID=215854&title=food-throwing#215854 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10841&PID=215828&title=food-throwing#215828 Author: busymum

You could take him out for 10 mins or maybe an hour if he's not interested: try to go with heaps of little meals.

Has he recently finished a growth spurt or is his weight quite low on the chart? After 1yr the eating/growing can sometimes slow down a bit.]]> Wed, 19 Sep 2007 12:29:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10841&PID=215828&title=food-throwing#215828 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10841&PID=215799&title=food-throwing#215799 Author: AndysMummy

You can get cool patterened PV from Spotlight which is awesome under a highchair. Our one has jellybeans on it. So handy!

Andy has started spitting food out. I give him one kind warning and then if he does it again I say "ok I'm going now then. Let me know when you want some more" and I leave. I usually go on the computer (close to highchair) and just ingnore him. When he's really he starts grumping a bit and then I go feed him and usually get quite a bit more in. Maybe you could try this? I know it's not the same thing but it may do the trick as Ben might be doing it just to get attention/ see your reaction??]]> Wed, 19 Sep 2007 11:49:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10841&PID=215799&title=food-throwing#215799 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10841&PID=215797&title=food-throwing#215797 Author: SMoody

aaah that is bad that he isnt such a good eater. As I would have taken food away if they continued laughing at it and taken them out.

But seeing he is a bad eater. How about putting a plastic sheet underneath. Easy to clean up if he mess. Let him eat. If he throws it on the floor. Just pick it up and put it on its tray. He will hopefully get bored by doing it and stop doing it. However if he thinks it is a fun game to see how many times mommy will pick it up then you are in trouble.

I honestly dont know what I will do. This one just cleans up herself so no worries here. Hopefully some other mom comes with a great plan.

How about just pick it up. And just say DONT do that again. And make a cross face. Dont say anything else. But you have to use a strict tone of voice. Usually works here for stuff.]]> Wed, 19 Sep 2007 11:43:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10841&PID=215797&title=food-throwing#215797 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10841&PID=215794&title=food-throwing#215794 Author: Jay_R

Joshua does exactly the same thing. Sometimes it's just so funny I end up laughing, which of course helps my cause none    I think it's something that will go away with time, and until then perhaps you just have to go with it, reminding him all the time that it's not the right thing to do, but not getting too angry about it when it does happen. Well, thats what I do anyways!]]> Wed, 19 Sep 2007 11:33:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10841&PID=215794&title=food-throwing#215794 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10841&PID=215787&title=food-throwing#215787 Author: emmaohara

Advice please ladies, Ben has been food throwing out of his highchair since he first had finger food. He does it when hes had enough of one thing or doesn't want it.

If I put the food back on the tray ( yes very hygenic) he eats it sometimes or throws it back and has a mini fit. Tis happens with all food, whether he likes it or not

I have tried the "Thats naughty Ben we don't throw food on the floor" but thats fails and he laughs at my serious face ( god hes too cute...)

We only put one thing on the tray at a time so we don't get in a huge mess but I don't know how else to explain to him thats its wrong. The whole 'Do that again and theres no more food" doesnt work as he generally hates food and would happily starve to death..!!

Help ]]> Wed, 19 Sep 2007 11:13:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10841&PID=215787&title=food-throwing#215787
