A. Hello mom If you will continue giving food in a paste form then baby will never start chewing. So firstly you have to avoid doing it. If baby is not doing well then start giving small bites to your baby so baby can’t swallow it directly. And if small bites can be swallowed then it will not be harmful for your baby. Happy parenting
