A. Hello mom you have to stop giving mashed foods as now is you just try to give in to his demands the child will never stop get a little firm with him and give foods as what you make at home for the family now as per his teething development. Give some finger food , play some games around it with food and also tell stories about teeth , all try to teach in a play way method

Q. #asktheexperts Good afternoon sir.. I am worried about my baby's feeding. She has only 5 front teeth. She is 1yr 2 months old. She eat rice including fish or meat or egg and vegetables in a paste form. If I don't give her in a paste form, she can't swallow. Till now she can't chew. My question is whether it will be problem in future regarding eating? Will she learn to chew all food in normal form? Is there any need to worry?
