#asktheexperts my daughter for 5 years old just 1 month back...and from past few days she is keeping food in her mouth..looks like she has made a pocket inside even when she is chewing, she is chewing outside food..until I say her take it out and then she takes out and chew..so now coz of this it is taking long to eat...can I help her in any way for this?

A. You just have to go ahead with doing regular counselling towards the child which is what is going to be helpful as of now because having pocketing of food is common in this age a lot of kids do it but with regular counselling and teaching your child that it is going to create problems in the mouth the child will understand because it can actually lead to cavities and decay of the teeth
