A. it is common for kids. Food full of green leafy vegetable and fruit contains most of vitamin and protein sources like paneer soyabean or egg . It is required for proper weight and height gain and also for boosting immunity and good skin and hairs . Protein powder like pediasure can be given to baby after 2 yr of age .

A. Hello,it's common in babies of this age and my advice is while you give food don't make him watch television or mobile and while eating food there should not be any distraction and you need to keep on telling your baby stories that you need to chew food else this will happen ,same thing had happened with some other kid,likewise stories .
