POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. It sounds like your 14-month-old son has a sensitive gag reflex and prefers softer textures. This is common at this age as some babies take time to transition to solid textures. Here’s how you can help:
👶 Tips to Help Him Adjust to Solid Textures:
✅ Gradually increase texture – Instead of fully soggy chapati, try offering it slightly less soaked each time.
✅ Offer finger foods – Soft foods like banana, steamed carrot sticks, avocado slices, or soft paneer cubes can encourage chewing.
✅ Encourage self-feeding – Let him explore food with his hands to get comfortable with textures.
✅ Practice chewing – Show him how to chew by exaggerating your chewing movements when eating together.
✅ Avoid force-feeding – Let him take his time to explore and eat at his own pace.
✅ Check oral motor skills – If he consistently gags on all solid foods, you might consult a pediatrician or feeding specialist.
