POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. If your son is not eating solid foods, here are some strategies to encourage him:
Make It Appealing:
1. Presentation: Use colorful plates and arrange food in fun shapes to make it visually appealing.
2. Finger Foods: Offer small, easy-to-hold pieces that he can pick up himself.
Gradual Introduction:
1. Start with Familiar Flavors: Offer solids that have a taste he enjoys, such as mashed potatoes or sweet potato.
2. Mix with Favorites: Combine new foods with those he already likes, such as mixing fruits into yogurt.
Create a Positive Environment:
1. Routine: Establish regular meal and snack times to create a sense of predictability.
2. Eat Together: Make family meals a time for bonding, and let him see you enjoying the food.
Be Patient:
1. Multiple Attempts: It can take several tries before a child accepts a new food, so keep offering it without pressure.
2. Stay Calm: Avoid showing frustration or concern, as it can create anxiety around mealtime.
Limit Distractions:
Reduce distractions during meals (like screens) to help him focus on eating.
Consult a Pediatrician:
If the issue persists or you have concerns about his nutrition or growth, it's best to consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and guidance.
