Good afternoon. I am mother of twin boys. They r 4 year old now. They have reached every milestone at right time .as they were premature and underweight I was very particular of what they eat.in this process of including nutritional food in their diet I gave pureed food (chicken mutton eggs and veges and fruits. I would puree every thing as they were very fussy eaters. Now they got used to the purified and not chewing food at all. They chew crispy chips but not food. I am really worried. As I give unpurified food they simply vomit. I am really worried as they r not gaining weight.

Hi, Start giving well cooked vegetables slightly mashed with a masher to start with. Even if they eat less its fine and even if they vomit initially its fine just give them more liquids like Milk,Curd, Soup and juices during this phase if they vomit. Slowly and gradually with hunger they will get use to it and then slowly start grating vegetables, then finely chopping and then to the main stream. All the best!!
