Q.

#asktheexperts Dear Doctor, My baby is 8 months and 25 days old and is not eating solid food by hand or spoon. She mostly takes food only through a bottle. Even when she takes food by spoon, she doesn’t swallow it properly. She also doesn’t have teeth yet. Could you please guide me on what I should do?

A. Namaste Mom, Make the baby sit in upright position , and not in the lying down one, also it is all about habit building , other is to find if the baby has issues as such that she is not able to take it.
