A. Don’t be in a hurry. Definitely the baby will learn to chew but it is difficult for them to let go of the habit of eating puréed food and you should make it a gradual change. Don’t give solid foods directly just change the consistency of the food little bit chunky but still pastyWrite Your Answer Here
