A. i know its exhausting but that is so normal dear. it takes time for little babies to get adjust with food of variety tastes and everything and also it is kind of boring stressing for them so try to play with all kinds of food and observe with which the baby is getting connected and interested to eat so repeat the food twice or thrice a week. sometimes it's fine if they skip a meal don't worry about it try later when they r really hungry. don't give any snacks before a meal. sometimes quantity differes too don't overfeed. let baby do more physical activities throughout the day with more water and give them whole 12 hours undisturbed sleep at n8

A. It Happens a lot of times you know when the kids don’t eat properly and they take a really long time to finish a meal so try to feed your child with your own hands and also you should make sure that you are sharing the same plate with your child that also helps quite a lot
