A. Dear ma’am, kids at this age are generally explorative and they need repeated exposure before they start accepting to eat so don’t force feed. Sit with your kid and have one meal daily and also encourage self feeding

ExpertVandana SharmaNutritionist4 years ago

A. Hello mom toddlers this age normally this behaviour is observed .. as they get involved in play a lot than show their interest in food. You have to make his meal time fun by getting some interesting age appropriate books for him . And read while feeding . Do not force them to eat instead ignore at times once when hungry they will eat much better .

A. reduce screen time. encourage the baby in lots of physical activity. serve small quantities of food after different intervals. establish proper feeding routine. use playful methods of feeding. engage the baby in elaborated stories or toys while feeding.
