I just remove my baby's food when she does that.

As soon as she throws something tell her "NO" and take her out of her high chair. We did this with our 2 yr old son Tyler and it cured him of his throwing behavior within days.

Toddlers do this. It's a developmental stage - very normal and nothing to worry about. It has nothing to do with "manners" - your child will learn about good manners when she's a bit older. Right now, she's just experimenting with gravity, her parents' reactions, the tactile sensation of food and so forth. When a baby starts throwing food, he's obviously not that hungry anymore. Now it's playtime. Throwing food often gets a big reaction from people - lots of shrieks and all kinds of attention. You definitely want to avoid that. Instead, act a bit bored. Just say quietly, "All done" and lift the child out of her chair. Clean up without saying anything at all. You're hoping that she'll learn to say "all done" instead of signaling the end of her meal by throwing things around. If you don't reinforce the throwing behavior with a lot of attention, it will probably die out on its own within a couple of weeks. If not, you let her eat a tiny bit and then remove the food BEFORE she has a chance to start throwing it. If she wants more, you can offer a small serving at a time. In a similar fashion, you can keep her entire plate away from her and just serve her small servings at a time. In a few weeks you can put the plate in front of her to see if she's outgrown the throwing phase. If not, remove the plate and revert to your previous strategy for a few more weeks. All kids go through the throwing stage and they all grow out of it. Just be patient and refrain from showing your irritation. Definitely avoid drama and obvious displays of anger. Matter-of-fact, quiet treatment is all that is needed until this phase passes.     Sarah Chana

i do the same thing- i just remove it when he throws his food-i know he's not hungry anymore if he's willing to throw his food around. i also tell him it's not okay to throw his drink/food each time --- and it seems like it took a long time to get the point across. Now he tells me "all done" and hands me his plate or bottle.
