My son is eating food using spoon only.

2020-07-03 16:55:20
Hello, My son is near to 2 years old (1 yr. 8 months). He has only 3 teeth. He is eating food using spoon only. We tried him to feed without spoon, using hand, but he is not eating. Also, he is not eating solid food, we need to grind the food for him. Please let me know what can be done? We are not able to go outside to visit doctor due to covid 19 and lockdown. Thanks, -Sumit.

Hi, By 2 years child should develop around 20 teeths Delayed teeth development can be due to Vitamin D deficiency I need to know about his other developmental milestones too Regarding his food habits, you need to change it Give family diet at the same time when family is having food No separate food items Don't grind food for baby
Next Steps
