How do I know if my baby is hungry or just playing with food?
Little Lunches Expert Answer
Babies often show hunger by leaning forward, opening their mouth, reaching for food, and staying focused on eating. Playing more often looks like dropping food, smearing it, or turning away. Watch patterns: hungry babies keep bringing food to their mouth, while playful babies lose interest, smear, or throw food.
