No no....no High Chair...

The dreaded day has arrived and become a reality. It is now impossible to put Keziah on the high chair no matter what carrot we put in front of her. She simply wants to sit on the adult chair and stand up to see what's on the table, not to mention to reach for it. I seriously can't figure a way to put her in anymore as she will struggle. If you manage to force her into the chair and tie her down, she will cry miserably and refuse her food. When we are out, it's a bit better in that she will stay in the high chair for awhile before getting restless after her meal is about to finish. What next? Probably I should start letting her to learn self-feeding with a spoon. Just the worry of making a mess of the place and wasting time.

Hey Joan,

You can try giving her some food, and her own bowl and spoon while you are feeding her at the same time. It takes their mind off fussing, and I find that it works with Ruixiang. :)

Oh yes I did try to entice her with fruits and such on her high chair but sadly this no longer works. My issue is I can't even get her to sit on the high chair to begin with, not to mention what follows. Will try the bowls and spoon.

i remember Caleb going through that phase too.When all else fails,just grit your teeth and tell yourself that she will outgrow that phase,if you are fortunate,in a matter of days or weeks.haha.thats how i coped:)

i know your dilemma at letting her self feed.i have that too.i still feed him most of the time now cos i hate the cleaning up.But if i have enough newspapers,i will lay them out 5 m radius all over his chair and cleaning up should be quite easy:)
