Question
How should one handle a baby who refuses to open their mouth to eat?
Answer
At around 4 to 5 months of age, a baby’s taste buds begin to develop, and it is also the time when they start to have nutritional needs, making it appropriate to introduce solid foods. If this is done too late, the baby might be unwilling to eat due to an unfamiliar taste. Additionally, the baby’s dinner time should be consistent, avoiding other sweet treats, and gradually establishing a routine for dinner eating habits. If there is indigestion, you can give them digestive tablets and provide easily digestible foods.
