What is a Feeding Strike?
Feeding Strike or “Closing the Mouth Movement” describes a phase where babies show refusal to eat. This can happen due to teething, boredom, sickness, or simply because they’re exploring their preferences. Understanding Feeding Strike is crucial — but even more important is offering varied, flavourful, and texture-appropriate meals that can reignite their interest in food.
