The trick for us is to take his plate away as soon as he is done eating (full). Only once he has time to think what else he could do with it will he start playing with it. swurlygurl on "When did your LO start eating from a plate?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-eating-from-a-plate-1#post-1575605 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:27:45 +0000 swurlygurl 1575605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Within the last month, so starting somewhere around 14 months. It was just a plain plastic plate, and she never even tried to pick it up and throw it. Every once in a while I have to remind her to leave it on the tray, but she hasn't given me any trouble about it. edelweiss on "When did your LO start eating from a plate?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-eating-from-a-plate-1#post-1575595 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:25:44 +0000 edelweiss 1575595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ around a year. now, at 15 months, he'll eat the first few bites out of the plate but then turn it over and dump everything onto the tray. i don't try to fight it at this point. sunshineandsushi on "When did your LO start eating from a plate?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-eating-from-a-plate-1#post-1575594 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:25:40 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1575594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Around 10 or 11 months, we started using bowls/plates. We started with the ones that have a suction cup on the bottom. But that often just makes them more determined to yank it up and throw it. :) At 15 months, if they've eaten enough and start getting bored, they'll still try to chuck their plate. But if they're hungry and focused on eating, they leave it alone.

He does pretty well with it at first, but eventually just starts pushing the plate around on his tray and I have to take it away before it ends up on the floor. I look at it as baby steps, ha ha. jodyblair on "When did your LO start eating from a plate?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-eating-from-a-plate-1#post-1575495 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 13:50:07 +0000 jodyblair 1575495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO is 12 months and we've always just put food on his tray for him to eat. The few times I've tried to put it on a plate, he immediately picks it up and throws the plate and its contents on the floor.
