Hi doc,
my baby is 9 months 8 days old. he used to eat food properly 3 times a day but from last 3 days he is not interested in eating. even if I give him food to eat by himself or if I feed him some food he is not taking. he is active playing doing everything except eating. he is least interested in eating. is it normal or do i need to worry?

hey hey mommy please check if it's because of teething. during teething its very normal. also make sure you are giving some easy to eat food like soups, porridges. it's just a phase and will soon pass. 
if its not because of teething then please don't force feed. if and when the child is hungry he will eat. just keep trying to offer something after every two hours. use a completely new menu not the typical dal rice chappati.
