- It's best for babies having solid food to know the taste of the food that they do not enjoy very distinctly. Parents invariably mix your less favorite food with the ones that you love. Be firm in rejecting such mixtures so that you get to enjoy your favorite food unpolluted :)
- Often we (babies) open our mouth in excitement (smiling) to funny sounds people make. When you hear funny sounds with bib around your neck, a spoonful of food will be thrust into your mouth. So beware..
- If you do not like the food you are given, show an expression of dislike ( it should not be an expression which will make your parents go "how cute!")
- The next line of defence against food that you do not like is bringing your lips tightly together. If the spoon is still forced, bring your gums together. This technique is a sure success :)
- If you are done eating, make sure you let your parents know it clearly. Here are a few ways which let them know that they cannot force anymore food into your mouth :)
Spit the food (do brr.. brr..)
Look away in another direction everytime you see a spoon coming near you
Grab the spoon and make a mess with the food
Grab the food bowl or playfully knock it off from your amma/appa's hands
For best results, smile sweetly and innocently at your amma/appa after using any of the techniques. You are sure to enjoy more of cuddling and pampering soon after :)

one more trick, eat one spoonful with some toy in your hand to make your parents think that is the favorite. Then keep throwing the toy down and ask for it. Your parents will be doing that all through and you will escape eating :)
These kids seem to have a secret school where they meet up and learn all these techniques to be used in the same exact order even....;-) -Kavi
