Can change the spoon. Can use colouring spoon or a different type of spoon to regain interest.

Don't force feed the child. Once the child recovers from an illness it may take time to go back to normal. Let the child explore and eat by hand if required. Children also have various stages of food rejection. Please book an appointment with me to discuss further. You can follow me on Instagram @pediatrician_india for more helpful tips ! Take care !
