Medical Conditions - Fussy Eater

Children tend to dislike foods of certain color, shape, texture, and taste. Also, they may like a particular food one day while disliking it the other day. The quantity of food they take also may vary from day today. It is termed fussy eating, which is an integral part of a child's development. Creating a regular and happy mealtime, asking the child to eat in small proportions, appreciating the child for eating, avoiding the fussing, and setting a time limit for meals help overcome fussy eating.
