A vigorous child with little interest in feeding indicates that a child may be easily distracted by the environment and, in turn, lose interest in eating. As for highly selective intake, it&#8217;s highly normal among children. It means that the child may be selective, particularly with the taste, texture, smell, and even appearance of the food. Lastly, excessive or irritational fear of feeding refers to a child who may have suffered from a past detrimental oral experience (e.g., choking).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c37fc6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4c37fc6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Normal Phase \n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22abba7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"22abba7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-original-attrs=\"{\">Usually, you can observe the signs of picky eating problems among children aged 12-18 months <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/childrens-health\/toddler-wont-eat-2\">(Healthline, 2020)<\/a>.
