Mom of a 2 yr 9 m old boy1 Year ago

Q.

Hi doctor, This is Srimathi, mother of a 1 year and 4 months old baby boy. My kid is not chewing his food. So, for better digestion, I'm still mashing the food with a spoon. He swallows it without chewing as soon as I feed him. Is this normal? Or is there any other way that I can help him to chew his food? kindly advice Thanks

A. Hello mom without mashing you can prefer soft food or make it soft such as dal and roti pieces as well , as then they will never learn about it
