At ten months, a baby gradually begins to show their own personality. For example, some babies react when they come for a medical examination and may not want to be examined. They may also react differently to many activities at home.
One common behavioral difficulty at this stage is a food battle between mother and baby. The mother may feel that the amount the baby eats is not enough and may pressure the baby to eat. The baby may respond with a lack of appetite, and the situation can reach an impasse.
When it comes to food and other behaviors, we should put ourselves in the baby's place: How would this baby want the meal? How might a baby who dislikes bathing come to enjoy it? By considering the baby's perspective, we should be able to persuade them. We should remember that even a baby has a personality and avoid conflict with them.
