Hi dear
welcome to the HCM.
Frequent, Small feeds,
Semisolids feed,
Tasty food/acceptable food for the child to be preferred .
Try to stop feeds by bottle.Bottle nipple's softness makes the child addicted for it. And thus the child does not like to chew. So try to change the habit from sucking to chewing. which is quite difficult to overcome.
Add iron syrup and multivitamins along with appetisers.
hope the child should respond with these.
thanks.
