A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. try to make baby sit along with family when whole family is eating amd serve in his favorite plate , and sit along with him to help , and train to chew the food, do not grind the food but you can soak chapati in daal fully so it can be chewable or soft for baby. serve boiled soft veggies, curd, shakes, buttermilk, sheera etc. Thanks and take care Thanks and take care
