We eat together and limit distractions. I don’t normally have toys there, it was just a test to see if he would pick anything up when in his highchair and put it in his mouth if that makes sense
That does make sense, let him just explore, for the time being, things will eventually go into his mouth.
Try finger foods or yogurt my son is going through this and I can tell you now I know how you feel been weaning him since 6 months and he will take some food off spoon but now we’re giving him chips crisps sausages chicken baby bell cheese fruit and he eat it
Yeah try and avoid toys
At this point it's ok if they aren't actually tasting. As it's also about exploring textures with their hands too. In time when ready they will taste
My little boy just puts food him his mouth and spits it out again.. trying a mix of BLW and puree
My advice would be to not put any distraction there, have only music on in the background and just let him explore with foods he can mush, hold, squish. Also eat together so he watches and copies
