A. okay..it happens because of many reasons. Like child might like same food items , mouth ulcers or he/she might find difficulty to chew food etc. so try to offer food in small bites. or you can increase food consistency gradually. for example start with offering lumps . offer meltables that easily dissolve once they touch saliva or very soft easily,Mashable foods that are cut up in small cubes or thin stripes. make gradual changes.
