Need some food advice :)

DS is almost 15 months and I still cut all of his food up pretty small. If I give him bigger pieces he shoves the whole thing in his mouth, I have a mini heart attack and than I go fishing for it. I would really love to start giving him toast fingers instead of tiny toast squares but this morning he tries to shove the entire thing in his mouth. Anyone else's LO do this? How can I get him to start taking bites, or is it impossible?

Just give him whole toast fingers. He will learn. Xx

I think its just one of those things where practice makes perfect! My son used to do the same thing, and sometimes he will still shove too much in his mouth at once but then realises he can't chew it, takes it out his mouth breaks it up and pops it back in again! x

Evie still does this.

She spits it out and then puts it back in in smaller bits
