#asktheexpert My son is 16 months old. He has started teething and has got around 5-6 teeth. However, he refuses to chew and starts choking when given solids. We have to give him everything in pureed form for him to eat. He eats dal roti, khichdi etc but all of that has to be ground in the mixer before giving him. How do I make him chew his food?
