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 have to progress by 20% to 30% every few xweeks. it is a learning process of swallowing as well as she is going by the child so do not worry and continue your efforts. the child willx learn the chewing process gradually because the child is always copying people around them
