A. Hi kids can chew food with the help of back teeth.. give solid food items in small pieces so that your kid can learn chewing process..this takes time so dont be tensed

A. Keep Yourself Calm Before you even attempt to start teaching your little one how to chew, there needs to exist an atmosphere of peace and calm. If your little one is upset and is not in the mood, it’s not going to be easy for you to get him to chew food, and as a result, you might lose your patience. Your own stress can counteract the appetite of the child and prevent him from any attempts at chewing his food. So you must ensure that you don’t lose your calm while trying to get your child to eat and chew food. Make mealtimes a fun activity.
