#AskTheExpert my son is 17 months old but still he doesn't chew food. If I try to feed him chapati or paratha he keeps it in his mouth and tries to melt it by keeping it on his tongue. so i used to feed him only Dalia,daal rice,oats,sooji kheer,sabudana kheer and etc of similar texture.please suggest me how I can teach him toh chew so that I can give him paratha and chapati as normally we eat.
