#AskTheExpert Hello my son is 3.9 he doesn't chew most of the food..please suggest how I can teach him

A. Hi, try to give more finger foods like boiled potato sticks, boiled carrot sticks, bananas, fruits chopped and give that to Baby to eat by itself so by doing this way baby will also start eating the food and also we learn how to chew the food. Like this start with snacks first and then you can start with food. Try to give Dosa in small pieces so that Baby can take and eat. And give more liquids like buttermilk, coconut water, lukewarm water, soup, milkshakes. But initially make sure to sit with Baby and observe baby while eating because sometimes Baby might swallow and it might chock. so make sure the food is soft and give soft food initially to eat by itself and once the baby starts chewing you can give different types of food.Write Your Answer Here
