Last but not least, we're going to talk about picky eating versus red flags that you need to seek further out. So normal picky eating usually happens around a year and a half to about five years old when your baby started gaining independence starting to learn door. No, it is quite normal to see that baby might reject the food that they are selective in their food choices. They will say no to a lot of things not just to food but with everything you say pretty much those are kind of normal. Some of the red flags that I would caution you in seeking further help are number one baby have for weight gain or weight loss. It is not normal for the To be losing weight at this point.
So that's definitely a red flag if he is dropping and can also be that there is some issue going on. Number two, if there is ongoing gaming or sense of choking, coughing during meals more than usual. So those are babies that are really sensitive with texture number three ongoing carbon nominee. So far money can be a sign of food allergy, or other medical conditions going on. That's preventing babies from getting what he needs in his food intake. Number four, any problems with introducing solids is beyond your normal regular problems.
So not having any queries or baby foods by 10 months not interested at all. Not having any table foods by a year old. So only pureed foods. We talked about in earlier modules that we really want to introduce different texture to baby later, your nine to 10 months. If you're having problems transitioning by 16 months even with the formula, we recommend keeping it in the total income child to 16 months so that baby can get used to drinking up an open cabin setup still having that bottle in his mouth before if baby is only eating less than 20 food in his diet by the age of one. Of course, we want baby to have a variety of food if he is having an accepting only 20 foods that might indicate that there is a feeding problem there, especially if foods are being dropped over time and baby is eating less than less.
And last but not least mealtime should not be seen stressful or should not become a battle. If you ever feel that way, then it's important that you seek help early on, because problems is always easier to correct early onset of danger when it becomes a habit for your family.
