My one year old son suddenly stopped eating solids. He doesn't open his mouth whenever I offer him anything. This was not the situation before, earlier he used to taste everything. Right now he wants only breast milk. I am not able to figure out how can I make him eat if he will not open his mouth. Is this the normal situation for a teething baby of this age? What should I do?

A. hello mam yes it is common in teething babies as during teething the gums are sore and they hurt whenever kid bites something so kids avoid solids. massage the gums with clean cotton cloth 3-4 times a day.
