Toddler (2y) chews up foods and spits them out


My son has a strange habit of chewing up foods for a few minutes and eventually spitting the mashed up food all over his plate/the table/his shirt. He's good at trying a lot of foods, but I'm a bit concerned about how little seems to stay in. This happens with a variety of foods depending on his mood, but most commonly with crunchier things like apples or chewy things like shrimp.He's been doing this for a whole year, so I don't think it's a cry for attention. He never seems to make a gagging noise…he just spits it out when he's done with the flavour. I've tried telling him not to spit, I've tried ignoring it, I've tried serving softer textures/peeling fruit - all with no result/improvement. Any suggestions, or is this just part of normal toddlerhood? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2gIAugt
