A. U I have to monitor the gesture of your child’s mouth when your child is eating because if your child is swallowing properly then at least your child will take about 30 seconds to 1 minute before swallowing the food so if you monitor your child closely you will come to know whether your child is doing food properly or not that’s the only way to find that out
