A. thays ok till 3 yrs. you have to do a few more tests and a scan after a local doctor advice for proper treatmentIn such cases you can talk to a doctor and get some blood tests done to reach to a conclusion

A. You Have to feed your child up till the age of 3 to 4 years minimum by your own hand if you really want your child to eat properly okay that’s very important that independent and smallage as we believe they should be so you should feed and also don’t match the food okay just give me little little bites like a really small bites and eat with your child so how you are doing properly before swallowing if you do it your child is going to learn if you continue giving the food in mashed form it is going to be trouble some for you and for the child as well
