mrs n,
i dun think my MIL forces him to eat but she does have the patience to feed him for one hour if he's fussy about his food! she'll try all sorts of ways to feed him. for me, half an hour is the max and sometimes, when he persistently rejects the food, i'll just end the meal. my MIL gave a very worried look when i did that last weekend during family dinner, heehee.

krex your MIL must be very free.
Even half hour is too long for me I haven't got that kind of patience. With D I just let him be, if he's hungry he will eat if he's not he won't so no use making him sit there. Like this evening he was fussy he refused to eat his dinner and it is not b'cos he doesn't like the food. He had the same thing yesterday and ate everything! He kept pointing to the oranges so I gave him one. When he finished that I offered him the food again but he kept fussing around so I just let him go and kept away from the kitchen. If I were to go in there he'll sure come and ask for a biscuit and I wasn't going to give him any!
Guess like us there are some days when they have big appetites and some days they don't feel like eating but on average they eat enough to keep themselves going. They won't go hungry, they're too smart for that!

mel,
i think that's how kids learn. we also let J play with his porridge coz' it's the sticky type. he likes to poke poke then sometimes put in the mouth but spoon upside down. if we're feeding him something soupy, then we put some rice on a separate bowl for him to play with. can be a bit messy but if you can't bear to clean up so much later, choose something that has no odour (like rice). i think i'll faint if J splashes tomato sauce on my cushion chairs
mrs n,
let's just say my MIL is free enough to fuss over her precious grandson and will do anything to make sure he eats and grows. she's always nagging how skinny he is *rolls eyes*
i agree that kids shld decide for themselves how much they want to eat and i know they won't let themselves go hungry. in fact, i suspect J has trouble sleeping at night coz' he eats too much for dinner (ard 7pm) - my MIL feeds him one full bowl of food and he can take as long as 1 hr to finish! he might be suffering from indigestion coz' he rolls around in bed a lot at night and tends to wake up many times. i'm still trying to associate the link coz' i'm sometimes not ard to see how much he eats for dinner and how late he had it.

mel,
nt to worry.
I let BBM play with her food. Now if she is really hungry, she can fin the whole bowl nicely without dropping any. ( which I was surprised!)
most of the time, she still drop.
If nt so hungry, she will be feeding us........
as to poke food, think is their instinct to check if food is ok to eat?
drop food........... still trying to teach her not to pick up from floor to eat. usually, she will pass to me to throw.
it's just a messy n interesting stage for us.

Mel I've been letting my son self feed all meals from 12 mths. That was when he decided he wanted to hold the spoon again. At the beginning it was very messy used to have food on the floor. We put a plastic shower curtain under his highchair so that it makes cleaning up easier and some of the food can be recycled on our plates later so no wastage.
Nowadays he's much better hardly any spillage only with occassional littering when I happen to be not around for him to pass the food he doesn't want. If I happen to be around he'll give them to me.
You can try loaded spoons at the beginning for rice and porridge. Just load the spoon with food and give it to them or leave it on the plate and let them pick it up themselves. They will eventually get the hang of it and will attempt to spoon things up themselves. Sometimes they get the spoon the wrong way round and everything falls off and it's messy, sometimes they use their hands and their faces get all sticky and dirty but that's part of the fun and the learning process. I don't have any helper either and while you can really cry over all the messiness it can also be very funny and heartwarming when you see them smiling away and having a good time. If you give them enough practice feeding themselves the messiness don't last for long and one day you'll find you don't have to do much cleaning up after all.
Yuuri I'm also mummy dustbin!
krex I guess your MIL means well. J's only with the granny during the weekdays right? Maybe try a more relaxed feeding during weekends and see if it helps with his sleeping?

mrs n,
last sat he barely ate his dinner and i let him be. that nite, he slept pretty well...woke up only once and the next day he finished his milk and cereal *smirk*
that's what led me to think my MIL is feeding him too much.
yuuri,
J is a clean freak. he will walk ard the house and pick up any litter he sees on the floor! even at home, he will walk into the toilet and pick up the hair *faintz*

Mrs N,
I guess I must really learn to let go and let him mess it up. I always freak out when i see the spoon about to tip over!
Krex,
K also clean freak. Pick up all sorts of invisible dust to give me (thankfully not feed me)! The funny thing is those tiny hair/dust, he will go to the window and throw outside. Bigger things then will give me to throw away.
