POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. If your 1.8-year-old son is only swallowing food without chewing, it is important to encourage chewing to develop his oral muscles and digestion. Start with soft finger foods like small pieces of banana, boiled carrots, or puffs that dissolve easily. Offer textured foods instead of purees and demonstrate chewing while eating together. Avoid distractions like TV or mobile during meals and encourage self-feeding. Giving a teething toy or offering crispy snacks like toast can also help. If he completely avoids chewing or gags frequently, consult a pediatrician or speech therapist to rule out any oral motor delays.
