A. You Completely have to stop giving mashed food to the child give normal food teach your child to chew the food properly that’s what you can do no matter how hard it is for you but you cannot give mashed food to the child otherwise your child will keep troubling you like this give small small white teach your child how to chew and slowly your child will learn your child will throw a lot of tantrums but you have to be very very firm with it
