Baby not chewing from last 2 weeks
Hello Doctors, I have a concern and I am hoping for some suggestions from you all.. My baby boy is 2.2 years now and he use to chew food properly till last two weeks. From last two weeks till now i saw him he place the food into the mouth and do not chew, I keep need to press his cheeks so that he start chewing. But I do not understand why he suddenly stopped chewing. He takes lottt of time to finish his food because of this... please suggest what can be the reason and what should I do to bring him back to his original flow.
