A. hello mom as teeth develop it is important to change the consistency of the food that are been provided the texture of the food as well. as this done from the early stages would helo to settle them down. as the more later these habits are developed the more difficult it gets . so you need to start one time a day now , so start with some.finger foods , offer different textures , also you need to offer them cut fruits they are juicy .. so make a play around it. tell stories around that

A. While picky eating is a normal phase for most toddlers, there's definitely a time and place to call the doctor. Your pediatrician can rule out or diagnose possible underlying causes for your little one not eating, such as gastrointestinal disorders, swallowing problems, constipation, food sensitivities.
