Abstract – could not eat solid food

Smrithi, now two years old, was a premature baby and had a mild delay in all her milestones. Her parents were more worried about her eating problems, she could not drink from a cup or chew her food. We started teaching her to eat from a spoon and drink from a cup, and finally, we began working on her chewing. Since there was no problem with her tongue and teeth, we had to teach her these skills, and in 8 months, life was easier for both child and parents.
