My LO LOVES food. When she sees it, she wants it in her mouth that second. She'll whine and whimper until she gets it, and I have to quickly cut it up for her. She grabs it super fast and stuffs it in her mouth, and usually I can't keep up with her and cut it fast enough. She'll slow down after about 5 minutes, and finally I'll get to eat too.

I thought this was normal for all babies. Until we went to dinner with another baby around LO's age (she's 13 months, he just turned 12 months) and it was a picnic so we were on a blanket. When I brought LO's food out she lunges at me grabbing for it, DH had to grab her until I could cut it and she cried because it wasn't in her mouth right then.

Meanwhile, the other boy just sat there. His mom ate some of her own food, and he just sat there some more. Once in a while she popped some food in his mouth, and then she kept on eating.

This was soooooo weird to me! I could never ever get a bite in first, or I'm pretty sure my LO would take it right out of my mouth. And it's not like she's starving, she eats plenty during meals and gets snacks.

How does your LO react around food?
