POOJA GOSWAMIMom of 2 children4 years agoA. There can be 2 main reasons for baby to resist food at this age - Teething and Constipation.
If you notice symptoms like drooling, mild fever, loose motions, resisting food, these can be due to teething which every baby has to go through. To ease the process, massage the gums with clean finger or cotton cloth and give a chilled teether to chew on. It will soothe the irritation in gums.
If baby is not passing the stool regularly or have trouble passing it, give lot of fluids and easy to swallow fiber rich foods like mixed vegetable soup including broccoli, beans and peas, apple and its juice, oats, dry fruits, bread, rice, etc. to help in Constipation.
