Help!! Baby taking food out of her mouth

So my baby has been eating solids either purée or BLW very very well since 6 months! However, recently at 10 months she start to PURPOSELY take food out of her mouth and feed herself again! Then when she’s not eating she’d use her hands to play with her tongue?????? She’s not eating her solids properly she keep playing! So frustrating howwwwwwwww😩

Sounds like she's a very curious baby. She's trying to learn and experiment with cause and effect. For example she takes the food out to see what happens to it after it's in her mouth. It's important that you don't get frustrated and encourage her to be curious and explore different sensations. She will grow out of it eventually.
