Mom of a 7 yr 2 m old girl4 years ago

Q.

My daughter is very choosy in food and she takes so much time to chew and swallow a bite. She keeps a bite in a side of mouth and just sit. It takes almost 1+ hr for every meal. Should I keep feeding her for hrs or just stop at one point with whatever quantity she ate? How to improve this or this is just a phase?

A. definitely it is just a face your child will learn with time but you need to see that you are introducing all variety of food two years child you should not churn the food in in and the mixture if the child is not swallow ing

A. Reduce The amount of food that you are giving and increase the number of meals that you give me so just give little bit at one time and then you can feed your child after one hour again or maybe two hours again you know you just have to decided because certain times when kids see a plate full of food they are not interested so this way I think it should work for you
