Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. It is not uncommon for young children to experience difficulties with chewing solid food. At 19 months old, your daughter may still be developing her chewing skills. To help her become more comfortable with chewing, you can try introducing a variety of textures and sizes of food to her diet. Start with softer foods that are easy to chew, such as mashed vegetables or fruits, and gradually progress to foods with more texture.
Encourage your daughter to practice chewing by offering age-appropriate finger foods that require her to use her jaw muscles. You can also demonstrate chewing for her by exaggerating your own chewing motions while eating together.
Praise and encourage your daughter when she attempts to chew her food, even if she is not completely successful at first. Positive reinforcement can help build her confidence and motivation to keep trying. Be patiednt and give her time to develop this skill at her own pace. If your daughter continues to struggle with chewing or if you have concerns about her eating habits, consider consulting with a pediatrician or a feeding therapist for further guidance and support.d
