Default Throwing food

It's my own little monster- nearly 2 and whipping food- plate and all across the room. He understands 1-2-3, but that doesn't work with this situation.

If he throws it he must not be hungry.
" No throw food"
Remove from table. Clear mess, move on with day.

Don't give him a plate; try giving him small amounts right on the table.

If he still throws those, then he's done.

I use suction bowls for my infants and toddlers. I stick them right on our high charries trays and it only gets removed when I'm cleaning up.

I was SO over the kids grabbing the rim of bowls and flinging food across the floor. Now my little tikes never have the chance to see how far they can throw it

One day i had a little girl take her plate and flip it over onto her head...Well guess what we happened to be having for breakfast waffles with syrup and canned peaches. Was not a very fun mess to pick up...

I'd love to know what brand you use Queenbee. I bought Munchkins, and it took me longer to mash it down to the tray than it took the 12 month old to pull it up and knock it in the floor.

I can envision my son getting red in the face trying to pry it from the table though.
