I never know if he's full or if he's just tired of being in the high chair. So hard! banana on "Does your LO sit in their high chair throughout an entire meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sit-in-their-high-chair-throughout-an-entire-meal#post-326486 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 03:09:41 +0000 banana 326486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My son will sit through 80% of the meal if he's hungry and maybe 30% of he's not really hungry. He used to sit through 10% before. Literally we'd put him in the high chair and 10 minutes later he'd want out. It's nice that he actually sits and eats for almost an entire meal now! pinkcupcake on "Does your LO sit in their high chair throughout an entire meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sit-in-their-high-chair-throughout-an-entire-meal#post-326429 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 23:48:33 +0000 pinkcupcake 326429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She usually gets fussy and starts kicking when she's about 75% done. It's usually a mad rush at that point to try to get the rest of the food in her! yin on "Does your LO sit in their high chair throughout an entire meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sit-in-their-high-chair-throughout-an-entire-meal#post-321177 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:29:36 +0000 yin 321177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ At first my LO hated sitting down for meals, and the only thing that would work was Sesame Street. I'm glad that phase is over now, but he throws at least one tantrum at every meal.

We always get compliments when we're out to eat about how well behaved she is. My LO just loves food and she's so focused on it that she doesn't pay any attention to anything else but eating, so she just sits there and eats!

I try to tell her that someday she will be dying to just sit down and have a nice meal without any distractions or having to get up every minute but she just looks at me like i'm crazy, haha... prettylizy on "Does your LO sit in their high chair throughout an entire meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sit-in-their-high-chair-throughout-an-entire-meal#post-320783 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 12:14:18 +0000 prettylizy 320783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ she usually lasts about 75% of the way through our meals. We're working on keeping her 'sitting up at the table' during an entire meal. mrbee on "Does your LO sit in their high chair throughout an entire meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sit-in-their-high-chair-throughout-an-entire-meal#post-320759 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 12:02:49 +0000 mrbee 320759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @T-Mom: why do toddlers love to walk around while they eat??

I tried sit him at a kiddie table and he wants to get up and walk around while grazing.

My daughter will sit in it better at home but as soon as she sees her brother moving around, she wants out too. At restaurants, she can so easily wiggle out of the chair that it's impossible to keep her in there.

DS is 6 months, so his meals don't last very long. Usually, we end up holding him on our laps about half the time, though, because he's not a big fan of the highchair, eyt! autumnlove on "Does your LO sit in their high chair throughout an entire meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sit-in-their-high-chair-throughout-an-entire-meal#post-320691 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 11:24:40 +0000 autumnlove 320691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She can only sit through 75-80% of the meal.

I have to entertain and distract her. How good is your LO in a high chair during mealtime?
