What's Up, My Baby Is Just an Aggressive Angry Little Eater??

Maybe he is just "excited" when eating?
Being a baby, their expressions are sort of rudimentary, being they can't talk or portion control etc.

He also probably over-chews, because he is teething and it feels good on his gums, but then he gets irked because purees don't help the gums/teething. Trying giving him a frozen baby washcloth to knaw on.
I think he needs something to knaw on... his gums are irking him because he is teething.

And he probably sucks on his bib in between bites... because again, it feels good on his gums. Teething.
My son did that when teething.

Hopefully as well, he is "swallowing" well enough. In addition to chewing, coordination.

Are you giving him the solids, until "he" seems full or starts to push it away or turns his face away? That would indicate fullness.

the first thought that entered my mind about 1/2 way through your post was teething. the food is probably very soothing (and the spoon too) and once it is past the gums he gets desperate. try offering him a cool teething ring after a bite of food and see how he reacts.

also, with bottle or breat feeding, the child gets a non-stop flow of food. he may be still figuring out that there is going to be a break between bites, especially since he is still nursing.

final thought is a growth spurt, which might cause him to be ravenous.

be thankful he has a healthy appetite!

Hi J., Check with your doctor, but I have a 10 month old boy who was doing a little bit of the same thing to us. Our Pediatrician told me to slow our son down by giving him sips of milk between the spoonfuls of baby food. It allows his brain to get the message from him stomach that he is getting full. It also teaches him to slow down and less likely for him to choke.
Another thing that you can do is add some Rice cereal to his food at each meal, this will give him some texture to his puree food and help fill him up.
But like a said, check with your Pediatrician before doing any of these suggestions. Hope this helps you.

I'm not sure what to say. If he seems like he wants more food, what's the harm in giving it to him?

He sounds like my son, he LOVED his solids, wanted them as fast as he could get them in his mouth, had a mouthful of teeth by 6 months so wanted to use them, I guess, was done with purees (hated them from the get-go) and self-feeding himself Veg-All and other bite size/chunk foods by 7 months, and never ate baby food again. Grabbed a spoon around the same time and was eating like a pro by 8 months! I tried to slow his eating down as much as I could, but he did literally start to choke one time. It was his first Thanksgiving, he was gobbling food down as fast as he could get it in his mouth and probably not chewing as much as he should have before swallowing, I had to use the Heimlich maneuver to save him, thankfully it had just been introduced to the public. So I do recommend that you s l o w his eating down so he learns to chew and swallow and savor his food between bites.

Regardless of how much my son ate it never interfered with his nursing, he didn't wean until he was a bit over three years old, and loves food to this day ツ

My daughter us just 9 months and she eats and has been 3 meals a day.they sound a lot a like! She's stopped crying at meals but she's also refusing baby food, if I try to spoon feed she wants the soon. I be gone to more finger foods as well and that makes her happier. She does ok with the stage 3 probably because it's chunky. She also chews on her bib. She's also breast feed, but my supply I'd decreasing with her in take of solids.

You have given birth to a real foodie: later in life when he is a famous critic in the city you'll be the one to thank ;-)
Seriously, though, my son was the same way - he's two now and grown out of it, but I couldn't believe how much he ate! I fed him until he wanted to stop - my pediatrician said he will not over eat - he will stop when he is full. Be sure you are including solids with lots of protein to help fill him up, but as long as its healthy food, I would say keep going until he stops. The "over chewing" is probably a good thing, given his aggressive habits...you can feel safe that he won't choke.
Also, I read that kids do mimic the eating of their parents (I.e. chewing) a lot, so he is probably going after you while you eat to learn.. .
Maybe chat with pediatrician, but overall it just sounds like cute story for grand kids :)
Good luck!
