Mom of a 4 yr 2 m old boy2 years ago

Q.

My baby is 1.3 yrs but he's still not into chewing his food. I had never blended his food but rather mashed it with my hands since he was six months. I want to get some suggestions regarding the type of food that I can give to make him chew.

A. If your child has properties I would recommend you to kindly teach a child how to chew the food because with your teaching only the child is going to learn and it’s a proper habit that you have started feeding your child in so not a problem just that your child is going to need a little more of effort to learn how to chew the food so you can show your mouth gestures to teach your child well enough

Q. Hello Doctor, My 2.5 year old son doesn’t know chewing at all. He has been given only blended/ mashed food so far, so he just knows how to swallow directly. If I try giving him semi solid food, as he directly swallows it without chewing it becomes a choking hazard/ he pukes. He simply doesn’t know what chewing is. Please help !!
