Hi. My son is 3yrs old. He doesn’t chew. I am trying to learn him how to chew in diner time while he have roti. Now he know what is chewing and chew but the problem is after chewing he keeps the food in the mouth and not shallow. It takes almost 1hr to finish half roti. After that he gets irritated and don’t want to eat any more. Please help with a solution how to make him shallow. In need of urgent help. Please help.

Question

Accepted Answer

Make thin roti for him and while making roti put some ghee on it and fold it for some time so that it can become more soft. Take a help of dal. Give him dal roti. It is easy for them to swallow

Accepted Answer

The main reason behind this I guess is he doesn’t like to chew as he doesn’t chew but just learned it. So there is a lethargy while chewing. But I have to make him learn to chew and shallow. Please with a solution so that I can make him eat.

Accepted Answer

keeping food in mouth and not chewing properly is many times seen in children.
this can occur either due to loss of appetite as well as nutritional deficiency.
this can also occur due to tv mobile or screen time excess.
sometimes it is a part of habit in which the child does not like to chew solid food but can gulp down liquid to semisolid food.
it may also be associated when the child is not having any hunger but the parents want to feed the child.
please create interest by making different healthy recipes from food and eat along with the child.
use different colourful fruits vegetables and plates and spoons to create interest in the eyes of the child.
avoid tv mobile during family dinner or lunch or breakfast time.z
involve the child in the food making process to create an interest.
inculcate healthyz habits of eating food by practicing the same thing when you eat the food.
