Reply To: Help with Two-Year Old’s Eating Habit

OOMIS- I always make sure that the pieces of food are cut into small pieces. He just chews up the food and keeps it in his mouth. By forever I mean it literally(well almost!!)

I once decided to ignore and see how long he’ll keep it there. After 1 and a half hours I gave up and took it out of his mouth.

I hope its just a passing stage, but while were in that stage, its very frustrating because he ends up staying hungry. His first bite stays in his mouth and that’s it with that meal.
