A. hello...Stuffing foodin the cheeks – also known as “pocketing” or “packing” – is more common among toddlers and preschoolers than you might think. ... It may go unnoticed until a parent sees the child chewing on something long after mealtime.. At meals, offer your toddler very small amounts of food, including a familiar and favorite food. Offer a new food (also with a familiar food or beverage) every few meals or every few days, one at a time, to make trying something new less overwhelming. Be sure to offer new foods when you're not in a rush, and when you and your toddler are more relaxed. Present the food in small, bite-size pieces, and eat it and enjoy it in front of him to encourage him to do the same
