Why does my 15 months old spit the food out always?
Patient: hello doctor, my 15-monoth-old baby boy is continuously spitting the food that i give him for about the past month..i took him to the pediatrician and she gave me prescription to deworn him and i did that too...but no improvement. only if he forgets himself by playing with some new toys or playing in tap water, he swallows in..else he spits out..what can be done...any suggestions....i would appreciate your advice Doctor: Hi,  This looks like the baby is not liking the food. He might be choosy I guess! I would like to suggest you try different varieties of foods and present the food before him in some attractive ways: colorful dishes and garnish with jems/tomato sauce. Play with him and feed. Invite other kids/friends also and make competition among children for finishing the food! Remember kids usually like eating in little amount but frequently. So give them short and frequent diet.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Ajaygupta009, General & Family Physician
