Last night R, despite having a fork and a spoon, was shoveling food in her mouth so fast I thought that she was going to choke. I mean handful of pasta at a time.
She always does this. Why put 1 goldfish in your mouth when you grab 5 or 6 and eat at one time.
Will she grow out of this? We tell her one at a time, and to not eat so much at once but it isn't working.

Oh yes, C eats by the fistful! I tell him all the time that one day we are going to start working on table manners ....

Ooohhh yeah. Someone gave L a slice of cheese at a birthday party, and she shoved the entire piece in her mouth! *gag*

He eats things by the fistful if he likes them - blueberries, bananas, goldfish, etc. Stresses me out!

Yup! Full handfuls of things in between forkfuls of things. He gags sometimes and I remind him 1 at a time- but he just grabs another handful and shovels it in!

Yes, I try to limit what's on her tray unless it's Cheerios. But then I get screaming R who's ready for the next bite while still chewing the current one. Crazy kid.

LO does thus too. That's why she only gets a little bit on her tray at a time. But she eats so fast I'm starting to think we can't have meals together anymore because I can't eat. I have seen her take food out of her mouth when she puts too much in though, so that gives me (small) peace of mind

K shoves fist-fulls of food in her mouth all the time. I still have to cut her food up or she'll shove ridiculous amounts of food in. Hoping she grows out of it quickly!

Um, did you see all the pasta on E's fork last night? lol. Yes. ALL THE FOOD IN THE MOUTH ALL AT ONCE

Yes, when it's something she likes. I only put a small amount on her tray at a time for that reason (that, and it cuts down on the food that she drops on the floor). It's either putting whole fistfuls in her mouth at once, or biting the tiniest things, like she actually took a small bite out of a CHEERIO. Weirdo.
@Mrs. Sunshine: C will take things out of her mouth either because there is too much, or because she just wants to look at it again before eating it.

UGH yes. It's so frustrating. Oh, you've given me this stick of toast for me to take bites out of? Let me show you how good I am at stuffing it entirely in my mouth! WHO NEEDS BITES ANYWAY?

@Smurfette: yes, but usually only at the end of the meal when she wants to get down and go play.

Rofl, yes, all the time! And then half the time, it comes back out bc it was too much. So annoying,

Yes! Sometimes she'll also do that and then point at the sippy, indicating she wants some...but then cries because there's no room for it in her mouth!
