Hi anchal ! I do understand your concern. You could make sure you serve him food with family members on the dining table by making him sit on a high chair. he would gradually learn to eat by imitating others. Also be a role model and keep away gadgets while having meals. make mealtime pleasant by having discussion on his favourite topic. Let him have meals himself by serving food on his plate and do not pressurise him to finish the food on his plate . Avoid use of gadgets as their are many ill effects of feeding children in front of screen. Be patient with him ,gradually he would come around.

The more you would talk to him and put away gadgets , the better it would get. Spend time talking ,reading out books , doing age appropriate activities. Screen time affects overall development of the child including language development. Please ensure gadget time is restricted to less than an hour in a day. Help him learn in having screen free mealtimes.

Make sure u get age appropriate books for him .begin with books with illustrations. Read out to him everyday. make bedtime story reading a ritual. Also be a role model for him. Prefer spending time with books than gadgets when he is awake and around. The more he would see you reading ,the more he would get motivated.

Start with food items he is already familiar with. Do not immediately introduce vegetables he dreads eating as that could frighten him. u can give whole wheat pasta,poha, upma, vermicelli, while wheat pizza etc all these can be loaded with finely chopped vegetables.

Hi Anchal. Instead of phone use toys or story books to make him eat or best is to make him eat without using anything. Search Www. gkfooddiary .com or my little poppet for recipes for ur baby also along with that try to increase his interest in usual home made food.
