Thanks for your consultation at HCM.
I have gone through your case and based upon the the history you have provided I don't think any abnormal event with your child....all you need is patience....your child will start eating by the end of his third year...
I would love to know that is there any associated abnormal event have you noticed?? Like eating sand...? Abnormal interpretation of things...
But again all you need is to wait and see...it will be alright..continue with the soft diet and healthy liquid diet...
Hope your query is appropriately answered if you still have any feel free to ask.
Regards
