Sujatha replied. Hi,
Have you tried distracting her while eating (like TV or toys) for some days and see what happens. I know it is not a great suggestion and actually speaking we have to avoid it but in this case, it might work. When she gets a little older, then you might stop this habit. May be you could rent baby einstein videos from the library and check whether she likes them first.

Try singing rhymes or put rhymes CD. You could also use her favorite toy and distract her and sneak a spoonful to her mouth.
Sometimes you have to act like a kid. Just feel free and don't get stressed out. They can sense these things really well and try us out even harder. Let me know how it goes.
If I think of any new ideas, I will let you know.
Good luck!
