A. Dear ma’am, I totally understand your concern but do not worry. Most kids are fussy at this age. It will resolve but at the same time don’t force feed. It will put more stress on the child and she will start associating that stress with the foods you are trying to feed and eventually refuses to eat. So sit with your kid and have meals and encourage self eating habits
