Q.

#asktheexperts Hi, my 24 months old baby has suddenly stopped opening his mouth while i try to feed him. He is hardly eating anything. Whatever he eats, he wants to eat by himself and doesn’t like being fed at all. He has lost weight and becoming thin because of not eating.

A. A 2 year old baby is big enough to eat by his own, if the baby wants to eat by his own let him eat and in between you too keep feeding him, actually the babies of this age are fussy eaters so often this is a complain of every parent, it is very appreciating that your baby is eating by its own, don't worry about the weight so much just let him grow, and incase you feel so you can get some multi vitamin drops prescribed from your pediatrician.
