A. you can give mashed. no harm. In such cases you can talk to a doctor and get some blood tests done to reach to a conclusionbetter to show to a specialist and get the right opinion as soon as you can.

A. The Child is definitely underweight and your child knows how to eat properly since your child is not willing to eat that the food that you are giving in form which is why your child is demanding to eat mashed food so you should not give mashed food to the child try to give proper food to the child
