pushing food/solids out of mouth?

KathrynMD · September 2009

DD has been on mostly finger foods for several months. The last week or so, she keeps pushing food out of her mouth all.the.time. The only things she'll actually gum/chew and swallow are either crackers or rice cakes. Anything else, small/chewable (peaches, brocolli, cheese, carrots) she'll put in her mouth and then spit/push it out a few mintues later. Is she jsut playing w/ food or is there something going on? Should I go back to purees for a few days/weeks?

Might be teething? Or it might be she's just experimenting with her food and how to move it around in her mouth. I wouldn't worry and would keep offering her different finger foods to try.

My dd will have days like this with purees, it's loke nothing tastes good or something. But she seems happy and content when she does it so I figure it's some exploring and testing kind of thing.
