My 17 month old has hit this "fun" stage where I give him his food, he stuffs as much as he can in his mouth and the rest gets tossed on the floor. Then he keeps the mouthful of food for at least 2 hours.

I have tried physically removing it from his mouth (and got bit for that effort, ha), and I'm not sure if this is just a weird phase kids go through and to just ignore it? It seems odd he can go all day with just 3 mouthfuls of food, but he does eat a big breakfast.

Please tell me someone's LO did this too and it went away!
