Hi friends,

I am mom of 16 months old boy. My little one is not at all eating properly. Still he eats only grinded foods. He doesn' t have any favourite food. Everytime i have to forcefully make him eat. Morning i give him cereals, lunch rice with dal & veggies - grinded in to paste, Dinner - Idly or dosa grinded . In bet i give him milk & he doesn' t want to take any snacks. He doesn' t want to open his mouth for anything i give. He will never come to me when i am having food. Please help me how to make him eat foods & what food does this age group kids enjoy. I really depressed everyday when i feeding him. How many ounces of milk should 16 month old take? Another thing is my kid just swallows the food, he doesn' t chew & doesn' t want to chew. How ot make him used to chew the foods.

thanks ,

Try and give smashed potatoes for break fast, believe meit works with with a little butter and a dash of salt.try this as an alternater of carrots.hope to hear that ur son loved this!!!! viji replied. Hi,
If your baby is runs away from food it is termed as behavirol pbm..nothing to worry,It is bse of too much of attention.
try not to force him any food. feed him only when he gets hungry..try with different different food..he will slowly try to eat.
when he likes to eat he will eat solid food nicely no need to grind.
This worked out with my friend too.
All the best,
Viji
