A. hello mam it might be because of teething as during teething gums are sore and kids tend to avoid solid foods. massage the gums with clean cotton cloth 3-4 times a day. . . . .

A. hello you can try with different food option and recipe and also try giving semi solid so that it becomes easy for the child to swallow and you can try with small portion of food frequently instead of one large meal at a time so that the child would be able to take it well enough and include fruits which is a natural appetizer
