DO i just let her keep eating until she stops?? she can really pack them..lol.. plz get back and thanks so much for letting me know this is ok.! xoxox

She will let you know when she has had enough, as a rule of what mine are like they will only eat as much as they want too. Remember that a baby's tummy is only small, it is still growing and getting used to the changes that she is going through, let her guide YOU on what she needs to eat to feel full, it is often us parents that are guilty of overfeeding our children. She is only one so is still getting used to the fact that she is having to chew food now. Sometimes they can be a little scared of it, food with lumps in is strange to them and they can just get a fear of it, that is why it is best not to push them, the fear becomes worse. My daughter is 2 now, she has just recently started to eat what is put in front of her. I never pushed her, it was put on her plate and if she did not want it she did not eat it. Another trick that I learned was when they feed themselves only put tiny bits on the plate, if they look at a plate of food and there is a lot there they do not always want to eat it, I only put tiny bits of food on my daughters plate and I would cut it into sizes that fit her hand. I found that if I put food on her plate that was bigger than her hand she would not pick it up. Just keep doing what you are doing, try her with different things but if she creates a fuss give her what she knows. But saying all this, a child can play on this, so as she gets a little older you have to be firm with her and tell her that she has to try something new, make it into a game with her let her see you eat something new or say if you try this you can have your cherrios after. That way she is trying the food and so is not just playing you up. You are bound to worry it is normal, I went through hell at first but you are doing just fine from what I can see, go with your instincts of being a Mum they will tell you all you need to know, trust what your instinct tells you!

your 100% right too. She top teeth just pushed through. I noticed when i was fedding her and she grabbed the spoon n took my finger instead and bit me..lol

Yeah I agree, all my 3 kids went through this stage when they were younger, so I too used to just give them a bowl of food and spoon and then they feel all independent and are more likely to pick the food and put it in their mouth and eat alot more of it. Also I found that when my kids were younger and we visited other peoples house they would eat everything in sight... maybe they think the grass is greener who knows...

My kids wouldn't eat because they wanted to feed them selves and when they kept turning their head grabbing the spoon I finely figured it out. They wanted to feed them selve and I'll bet that is where this little girl is at.

thats something ill try..lol
