Question
What should I do if my one-year-old baby doesn’t chew food?
Answer
At this age, the child may not have fully mastered the chewing technique, which is a normal part of development. You can try offering softer foods to make it easier for them to chew. At the same time, ensure that your child’s diet is diverse and avoid picky eating, which helps promote the development of their chewing skills. If your child shows signs of indigestion, it may require special attention to diet and care. Additionally, zinc deficiency can also lead to food retention in children, so you might consider giving your child zinc gluconate oral solution or using Spleen-invigorating powder for treatment. If symptoms do not improve after five days of observation, it is recommended to consult a doctor for more accurate diagnosis and treatment advice.
