My baby is 18 months old but she is not walking yet. She is underweight and her weight gain is also very slow. Her teeth have erupted on time but she doesn’t like to chew her food. I have to make her eat by mashing it. What should I do? I am trying my level best to increase her weight but yet it is very slow.
