Hi Doctor, My kid is 2years and 4months old. When we feed her food (rice and dal or with some Curry) she directly swallows it rather than chewing it. Is there anything we can try to teach her chew food?

A. Hello mom yes you may give her more or finger foods and juicy foods or crackers so that she feels different textures of foods and uses her teeth , also try to have family meals together whenever possible as they observe and learn a lot like that
