Q.

My son is 8 months and 2 weeks old. He is avoiding semi-solid or solid foods for the past 2days (avoiding both the familiar and new taste foods), so I'm giving him only breastmilk. Is it normal during teething or should I take him for consultation?

A. hello mom if child doesn't have any health issues then dont worry loss of appetite can be due to the teething as well This is very common problem when baby switch from breast milk to semi solid or solid diet they take some time to adjust so do not worry try to introduce more variety let him play with his plate try to divert his attention like you can put some toys around him and put bites in his mouth you can offer him food in Puri form or finger food also
