How to feed 10 month old?

Hi..my upcoming 10 month old boy just doesn't like to sit still during feeding! He has been on bjorn bouncing chair type since 2 months, and now, he's just sick of it...moving about..almost climbing himself out of it during feeding time, and he doesn't like high chair too! feeding has been a mess and difficult choir.


pls advice. toys obviously hasn't work, and switching on tv means his eyes fix on TV and totally forgotten about feeding (he won't open his mouth then). the only trick that works now...is having one person reading book to him and another do the feeding. but would like to try some other ideas..that hopefully involve just one person feeding!


and..do i discipline him in sitting at high chair? like raising my voice to show my displease to him? i have done that twice...but it didn't work! should i persist?

it's just a phase.

be firm about the high chair - no toys and definitely no TV.


it might not be about him not liking the high chair, he could be frustrated about how much he's allowed to participate during meals. make mealtimes more fun with mealtime related activities - give him his own spoon and see if he can feed himself (no matter how messy). i always had 2 spoons during mealtimes - one for my son to feed and another for the actual feeding. also give him more finger food e.g. pasta in shapes that he can grab.
