A. Hello mom avoid mashed or purée foods for her now as per her teeth development the consistency of the food can be set for her , you can soft textured foods now . Try to change the form of food which they don’t prefer much like you can add some vegetables grated finely to idli batter to make colourful idlis same with rice you can do.
