Why Your Baby Throws Food (It's Not Defiance)
Episode 4500
Published 2 weeks ago
Description
If your one-year-old has started launching food off their high chair, you're not alone — and it's not personal. In this episode, we break down the three developmental drivers behind food throwing: the cognitive drive to experiment with gravity, the social reward of parental attention, and the emerging desire for autonomy. You'll learn practical strategies like the no-reaction pickup and the one-chance rule that address all three simultaneously, helping you get food into your baby without turning mealtime into a circus.
