A. by two years. please give very soft diet till then as chances of choking are very high in this age group start iron calcium and multivitamins supplements regularly and protein powder with milk twice a day

A. Hello dear parent! By this age your child should be able to chew well even without all teeth. Gums are strong enough to help in chewing. Give your child colourful finger foods like cut fruits and vegetables in cute Babyhug stainless steel bowls to encourage healthy eating. Be patient and persistent in your efforts.
