Eating speed slowed down
My son is now 11 months old now and we are giving him 4 times food of 1 bowl each time since he started eating solid from 6 months. he used to finish each time within 1 hr but from last few days he slowed down thr speed and started holding food for longer time in mouth. Even after 2 hrs he doesn't finish food. When we weighed him so weight went down with 150 gm from the last two weeks instead of getting weight. One week back it was teething so understand but still he is doing the same. How to encourage him to eat food and what should be the ideal schedule of eating for the day??
