When you sit your child to eat table food how long do you let them eat before cleaning up???

it just seems to take sooooooo long like 1/2 hour or so. i understand it will take longer than spoon feeding baby food but does this sound like a long time to you? and im not even sure if all that much is actually being eaten. my son is 10 months.

I plan on a certain amount of food and I don't clean up until she finishes eating it. I think I am even conservative with food b/c she never stops before all of the food is gone. Anyway, it can take up to 45 minutes for her to eat some meals.

he seems to pick alot of it up and then throw it or push it around.

is this beacause he needs more experience? he is certainly not an eater never has been so leaving it there until it is all gone could take days
