Q.
My Son is 13 Months old now but don't want to eat anything solid , takes only either liquid or semi-liquid food. Everyone says if he don't start now it will be difficult to make him eat later too as then some kids don't take till 3 years of age. I feel with only 4 full teeth it's not even possible to eat solid. Please advise.

ExpertDr. Garima VermaDentist4 years agoA. It is just about habit... if you do not introduce small bites of solid food now.. the child might find it difficult to eat later as he will be in a habit kf eating only mashed food all the time.
The gums of kids are very hard and they can chew small bites of solid food with it.
You can start giving solids in very small bites from now itself

Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children4 years agoA. Is the child taking mashed food? If so, You should slowly change the texture otherwise he will be very much used to it that he will start refusing anything in solid form. Keep blending the food but don't blend it completely. Reduce the blending time so that the food is kind of pureed but not completely. Once he gets accustomed to it reduce the blending again so the food is coarse and not completely pureed. Take it slowly. Try giving finger foods slowly as well under ur supervision.
