ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist2 years agoA. dear parent, for your 2 and half years old child, you should avoid grinded foods, instead start with soft foods, like small pieces of chapati dip in Dal rather than blended
even if child is eating less amount off unblended food for few days it is alright. child will eat eventually when hungry
let child self feed give finger foods, let child mess a little for creating interest in unblended food
keep trying and also try to explain that now child has teeth to chew and is a big boy/girl
make child sit with the family to eat to understand how older people have their food
baby can be picky eaters. all your efforts are good so keep trying and be patient
