Q.

#asktheexperts My 2-year-old son does not know how to chew...he has a set of 18 teeth but he still is unable to chew on chapati or anything solid because he started off with mashed food. Could you suggest how I could teach him?

A. Hi give your kid solid food items in small pieces.. kids can chew food with the help of back teeth.. chewing food habit will develop in some time.. don't be tensed and wait
