eating habits

Ok, so instead of cutting up food in small pieces ( such a pb&j, grilled cheese, etc) I have been cutting in bigger chunks hoping DS would learn the concept of taking bites instead of inhaling the food.

Not happening. He still is shoving food in his mouth. Is there something I'm missing? I don't know how to get him to stop shoveling and start biting :-)

Have you tried giving him the whole thing? Or offering it to him while you hold it? That's what worked best for us.

I think crackers helped for us, ones that are too big for him to shove in there, and I still give him mum mums from time to time too. For some reason that helped our little shover get the idea about nibbling a bit more.

My son shovels like no other!! It doesn't matter how big or small the pieces are if its in front of him it's all going in his mouth!!

I only cut up meat that's tougher to chew. I give her sandwiches and things whole. I'd probably still cut up things like apples, but I hardly ever buy them- so eh

I think that's how you get them to stop shoveling it in, give it to them w
