Q.

Hi doctor My son is 3 yrs and 7 months old and is a healthy and active child. He is underweight and weighs only 12 kgs. He still doesn't eat on his own and doesn't want to chew his food either. He swallows his food in puree form only. How to make him eat everything on his own and teach him to chew his food.

A. hi avoid grinded or soft mushy food as child tends to swallow without chewing 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 child should have meals along with the family to see and learn
