A. I am also facing the problem. i think he stocks in mouth when his tummy is full. when my son eats himself without help he never holds. 2ndly i hv noticed if kids are engaged in other activities like watching mobile or tv then they do open the mouth but never chew so you can stop giving him tv or phone time while feeding

A. it is advisable to continue your efforts in feeding the child. many times it take more efforts from the parents to make the child eat nutritious food. so kindly go for different recipes and flavours which might improve the appetite of tfhe child. At the same time it is also important to meet your doctor to rule out nutritional deficiency which might be the cause of loss of appetite. Give juixce fruits and water which will improve appetite and regular physical activity.
