A. it is very common that during the initial one or two years the child might take liquid or semi solid diet. but you can always gradually shift to semi solid to solid diet with increasing consistency and you have to progress by 20% to 30% every few weeks. it is a learning pro cess of swallowing as well as she is going by the child so do not worry and continue your efforts. the child will learn the chewing process gradually because the child is always copying people around them

A. By visually seeing and touching the food they've spit out, babies are learning about chewing. Often, kiddos will spit out the food, visually inspect it, and put it right back in their mouths! Try to let them do this and not to show any disgust—it's just one way to solidify chewing skills!
