A. Hi babies appetite reduces during teething phase and they tend to reject food intake. give your child whatever food he's liking to avoid nutritional deficiencies. gently massage the gum pad area with clean finger to facilitate the eruption process.

A. hello mom if child doesn't have any health issues then loss of appetite can be due to the teething so Do not worry their babies at this age are fussy eaters try to introduce more variety do not ever force them to eat try to make meal time your family time make him sit with family members so that he can enjoy his meal you can also offer him finger food which babies easily chew and digest
