anyone else dealing with this? Mealtimes are so hard now. I try to tell her not to rock in her high chair and then I end up taking her out of it like a million times during the meal. I don't know if it's just because she's so active now, but it's hard to get her to slow down to eat.
She never does it when we are at a restaurant though and usually not if she is just with her dad, only at home, always for me. I don't want her to hurt herself rocking in the high chair like that and it's really annoying.
Re: rocking in highchair?
I thought DS was the only crazy one doing this! Like PP said, never at a restaurant and never for DH!!! And as with anything else, everytime I say "no" he gets a kick out it! It kinda worries me because it's a space saver and he rocks (sorta) the chair too! I hope this phase doesn't last!

My DS did this for about a month a couple of months ago. He doesn't really do it anymore. When he would do that, I would gently put my hand on his chest and say "no, we don't do that". Then he would smile his cheesy smile and continue rocking.
After that, whenever he rocked in the chair, I strapped him in (I don't normally as I'm sitting right there with him the whole time). Once strapped in, he would sulk for a few minutes, maybe rock just his head for a minute, but then he would stop completely because it wasn't as much fun.
