How old is your LO? 18 months!

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? Just MOTN but there were two nights that V wasn't interested in nursing. I am hoping we'll be weaned by next month.

Solids? Sure if they ate his favorites. Anything Elkhart goes on the floor sadly.

Questions/AW? Anyone have success stopping the food throwing?

GTKY: what was the last movie you saw in theatres? The newest Star Trek movie last week, I enjoyed it! Before that was Finding Dory two months ago, we used to go to the movies about once every week before V. Oh well he is more fun than the movies any bought of the week.

ETA Um autocorrect what is Elkhart and why would you replace else with it?

kartish I think DD kinda just stopped throwing food on her own, but when she was doing it a lot, we just tried to ignore her. Or if it seemed like she was doing it because she thought that's where it went (like if she spit out a bite or was trying to move one thing to get to another, vs. just throwing it for sport), I'd tell her that food either goes in her mouth or on her plate.

kartish food throwing is less here these days. +1 to ignoring it as much as possible. If DS insisted on throwing I would calmly without comment take his plate away. If he asked for more, or to eat, then I would hold out the plate and let him choose something off it. But he didn't get the plate back for the rest of the meal. Less ammo at a time helped.

GTKY: what was the last movie you saw in theatres? Haha, I don't even remember - maybe the second muppet movie? We're not big movie theater people.

kartish we still have a food thrower, last night she threw her whole plate and she had baked beans on it so it was quite a mess. I've noticed that she throws food more when DH is there, he just can't ignore it and she clearly thinks it is funny to antagonize him. She also throws when she's not really interested in eating - this mostly happens at dinner because she snacks too much when she gets home from daycare.

So basically I think the advice from lilyelayne is good - don't give a reaction to the food throwing, just take the food away and limit what you give back. We also need to control snacks to make sure she's actually hungry when we sit down to eat.
