Mom of a 5 yr 3 m old girl4 years ago

Q.

My daughters food intake has disturbed. I use to give her rice and other stuff like dal etc in combination daily for her lunch and dinner meals. Since 2-3 days her intake has reduced to just 3-4 spoons. As She has 1 tooth till now, I don't feed her pure solids. What can be the reason behind the lower food intake.

A. Don’t worry in few kids teething starts little late so continue giving semi solid foods to the baby if baby is not able to chew it’s fine and give fruits and foods like idli dal chawal khichdi chapati mashed in dal

A. May Be your child is having other teeth also which is why your child’s appetite has gone down that’s a very normal when a child is having its teeth are in the process of it sometimes due to pain and irritation in the gums kids do not like to eat it so in that case you should try to give more of fluids to the child
