I wish I could tell you it gets better. But hey life gives you perspective. I did not care at all that my 1 year old was throwing food on the restaurant floor because my three year-old was having an epic meltdown after I gave his brother two fries from his HUGE meal.
This is good advice from an experienced parent. Will attempt when my newborn is old enough to go to a restaurant
By my 4th kid I didn’t pay a lot of attention. Do yourself a favor and just learn to roll with the punches. Your little person will go through so many different eating stages that it’s ridiculous. If you try to hard sticking to what you think is right you and your kiddo will both be stressed and accomplish little.
Agreed on the control point…a few weeks ago my 3 year old daughter didn’t foods that I put on her plate. A week later, I put all those same foods in serving bowls and she took those same items, put them on her plate & ate them.
I’ve read that food issues are typically about control. Eating is the only thing they can control at a young age, and so that’s what they do. You could offer two options and ask your baby which they prefer - sounds ridiculous but it worked well for my sister.
Enforce strict meal schedule. Minimize snacks in between meals.
wait until they turn 2
Parents have been trying to figure this out for centuries. Ave you tried telling this story to your parents? Oh they’ll have a blast explaining how much of a pain in the butt you were at meal time.

Tell me about it, looking at how difficult my first child is while eating I’m having doubts about having more children
Like others have said it’s about feeling like you can control something. Also, kids brains that age aren’t fully developed so they don’t know how to regulate their emotions yet
