Q.

My baby is 8 months 1 week but doesn’t eat daal/ khichdi/ mashed vegetables/ fruits/ mashed potatoes..have been trying from 2 months now.. he eats only banana and biscuits and cerelac which i make him eat a little somehow.. he doesn’t even like drinking water. Gets angry n irritated if i try forcefully .. seals his lips and doesn’t open mouth.. How to make him eat food..is it because of teething as his teeth haven’t come yet..

A. Hi. yes during teething phase kids suffer from loss of appetite and they tend to reject food intake.. you should consult with your pediatrician for regular health checkup of your child

A. hello teethin can happen anytime between 6 months to 9 months or even 14 months in the case of a late bloomer so not to worry.. you can try keeping water in a attractive sipper so the child will be able to take and avoid biscuit as it can affect baby's appetite and try small portions frequently instead of one large meal at a time and force feeding can lead to refusal so better to avoid
