In a blink of an eye, yet another month passed! Isn’t this the time when babies develop a few teeth and are able to chew as well as swallow? Also, their activities, especially crawling, rapidly increases.
One problem, most moms face around this time is – to deal with a highly-distracted child who has suddenly developed massive disinterest in eating food. Eventually, this adversely affects the baby’s appetite, which bothers every mother.
But, there is nothing to worry about! We’d say, be persistent, carry on doing whatever works best, plus introduce new foods so that whenever their taste buds tickle, they get something yummy and healthy to munch. You can introduce all kinds of fruits at this stage. You may also introduce mild spices, but remember, it should be in moderation!
