Hello,

My daughter (18 months) started keeping food in mouth for more then 10 or 15 min. i am struggling her to feed even 4 spoons. For past 6 days this is happening. And i could find no teeth is erupting. And fed up for every spoon. please suggests some tips to make her play and enjoy during food time. thanks rita replied. My baby is 1 year old has been doing this for the past one month. I too have been searching as to how to resolve the problem as its extremely frustrating,
Somehow managing to remain cool, to make it a pleasant affair.
The only thing that works for her that i somehow tried is tapping her with a tissue on the upper lip just below the nose, she doesnt like it much and so somehow closes her mouth to swallow. Closing her mouth from below leads to resistance, so tapping above the upper lip works for me. Wish u best of luck and loads of patience. Anyone else got better solutions, we neeed help...plsss. sandhya replied. (cont..)And at night 2 or 3 she gets up and cries in hungry. I am sad coz of this. Please share ur exp and help me to make her enjoy eating. Thanks in advance.
