A. hi please check for mouth ulcers. as sometimes it happens because of it. try to increase food consistency gradually. I mean,for first few days,offer food with liquid consistency, after that start to offer food in puree or well mashed form and then so on . try to make your child sit to take meal with whole family because children learn more from imitating their parents.
