Eating disorder

Hi,

My kid is 2 1/2 years old, problem is he is not eating food properly.
His mother has noticed that he is also not chewing food properly. If we give biscuit then we have to make it in paste form for him. Please guide...

Thanks

He may need to learn how to chew and swallow food. Some children just do not know how to do it and need to be taught. They need to learn how to chew and shallow food properly; it is not really an instinct behavior like sucking. Has he been evaluated on how to chew food? If not, then suggest getting him evaluated, by going to your MD, and start therapy so he can start to eat regular food.
