I’m sure someone else has dealt with this, so I’m looking for advice. My daughter is turning one and still eats purées mostly, but we do try to give her more and more solid foods. We’d like to have her eat all on her own (supervised, of course), but any plate of food she’s given has fistfuls taken from it! She completely stuffs her mouth as full and quick as possible— we’re afraid she’ll choke (and has)! She’s starting daycare soon too so it’s an issue that needs to be addressed.

How have you dealt with this? How can I help her slow down but still eat independently? I can’t keep giving her individual morsels at every single meal.
