You Think Your Baby Is Trying to Annoy You ? (It's Not What You Think)

Have you ever wondered, “Why does my baby keep throwing the spoon?” It may look like your baby is trying to annoy you, but there’s actually much more going on. From learning cause and effect to exploring food, developing independence, and communicating that they may be finished eating, baby feeding behavior can be surprisingly meaningful. In this video, we explore why babies throw food and spoons, what this behavior can tell you about your baby's development, and how responsive feeding can help you understand your baby's hunger and fullness cues. If your baby throws food, drops the spoon, turns away, or seems to play with everything during mealtime, you're definitely not alone.
