3yr old son doesn't eat. Losing weight
Hi, My son has been a fussy eater for quite a while but off late he doesn't just gulp in the food. He keeps it in his mouth and doesn't swallow at all. He's losing weight because of this. Please suggest what I should do.

Is he bottle fed? You should start with semisolid things.. Rava or sooji.. Apple puree.. Mashed potato.. Try to offer him food many times a day and what else u offer him..
