A. Oh So why do you have to make a paste out of it if your child is not doing it it’s okay tell your child this is the food if you want to eat this is what you have to eat I’m not going to grind it because if you keep giving it in the same manner that the child is never going to make an effort to chew the food because end of the day he knows that you are going to give it in the desired consistency so just stop doing that
