A. Hello, your baby girl is 9 months old and if she wants to eat anything then she doesn’t like it as a smashed and it’s not possible at age of 24 months

A. it is very common that during the initial one or two years the child might take liquid or semi solid diet. but you can always gradually shift to semi solid to solid diet with increasing consistency and you havez to progress by 20% to 30% every few weeks. it is a learning process of swallowing as well as she is going by the childz so do not worry and continue your efforts. the child will learn the chewing process gradually because the child is always copying people around them
