[blparent] Feeding question

[Leanne Merren]

Oh yeah, the little girl I'm currently babysitting does the same thing.  I 
haven't really found a sollution for that except sitting her on my lap so I 
can tell what she's doing with her head since she is moving it against me. 
I fed all of my kids in their highchairs but this little one I prefer to 
feed on my lap.  She isn't very mobile though so it's easy to do that.  If 
your little one moves around a lot you might try feeding her while standing 
behind her?  Not sure, maybe others have ideas on that.

Hi Leanne
The problem is when we go towards her mouth she turns her head making it 
hard to feed her.
