Her brothers and sisters have never stolen food from her, (in fact they like to give her theirs). She stuffs in as much as her mouth will hold and I can't get her to stop it, or at least take smaller bites. I have tried cutting her food up into small bites, but she just stuffs 2 or 3 in with the same result. I don't want to go back to spoon feeding because I feel that will set her back and spoil her instead of helping her. I have tried removing her food when she stuffs too much, and only returning it when she is finished with what she took, but she sulks and pouts and at times will refuse to chew and swallow what she has in her mouth. She hasn't had a serious choking problem yet, but she has coughed and gaged on too much food, and I don't want it to ever get to the level of full blown choking. Please, someone help. Only serious answers please, I'm not interested in joking about this issue.
