A. Hi babies can chew food with the help of back teeth.. as per age only front teeth have erupted so your kid can bite.. give food in small pieces so that kid can learn chewing

A. Best way to develop chewing habits in babies is to regularly give them finger foods. It would also help in independent eating. Start making more chunkier food items or mash them. For foods like chapatti or rice, they might take time to finish off, but that's fine. This is how they learn.
