Common and improvable. What has worked for many parents: daily oro-motor input (gum and cheek massage inside and outside the mouth), graded chewing practice with safe chew tubes (start soft, move to firmer), crunchy home foods, and messy food play (rice, upma rava, atta dough) to build tolerance for textures. Keep mealtimes low-pressure, offer one new food alongside accepted foods, and stay consistent — results come over weeks, not days. A feeding-trained speech or occupational therapist can build a plan specific to your child.
