Mom of a 3 yr 10 m old boy1 Year ago
Q.

Hello Doctor, My 2.5 year old son doesn’t know chewing at all. He has been given only blended/ mashed food so far, so he just knows how to swallow directly. If I try giving him semi solid food, as he directly swallows it without chewing it becomes a choking hazard/ he pukes. He simply doesn’t know what chewing is. Please help !!

A. Hello mom understand the concern , but avoid giving purred and semi solid for this age as they would never learn the habit , you have meals together give roti pieces, and dip it in dal or vegetable soup as such as that would allow some jaw movement . give them some finger foods
