Letting baby decide on eating

Parents, are you one to subscribe to the school of thought of letting your baby decide how much to eat and what to eat?

No. Haha. 1. Don’t like wasting food 2. Don’t like mess (it’s already messy enough feeding her. Lol) 3. I want to know how much she’s eating and not estimate based on what food’s not on the floor/table That said, I play a lot with flavours and food textures. In general, my baby gets 4 different things per meal, eg. Baby pasta, spinach and potato puree, apple and pork puree, strawberry (small pieces). Sometimes we add on baby bites biscuits/Gerber puffs/yoghurt melts. Whatever she likes, I continue giving her/making for her. Whatever she doesn’t like, I’ll gradually train her to eat it but won’t force if she doesn’t want to finish it.

I feed my baby porridge most of the times . But i will stop feeding when he is done (refuse to eat) . I don't force how much he is eating even if he can't finish his bowl

Yes sometimes.
