1. Be patient and not force-feed. Forcing can create a negative association with mealtime.
2. Offer a variety of foods, including those with different textures and flavors.
3. Maintain a regular feeding schedule, but be flexible with meal and snack times.
4. Ensure a calm and pleasant mealtime environment.
5. Avoid distractions like screens during meals.
6. Consult your pediatrician if the refusal continues or is accompanied by weight loss, changes in behavior, or other concerning symptoms.
Remember that babies often go through phases of fussiness with food. Continue to provide a balanced and nutritious diet, and with time, their eating habits may improve.
