My 3 yr olds son doesn't eat meals
My son is 2 yrs 8 months old. But he doesn't like to eat food specially vegetables. He is not fond of any kind of food though he eats fruits but doesn't like to eat roti n vegetables etc. Neither does he drinks milk properly. I'm concerned about his mental n physical development.
