A. baby is not chewing because he is not in the habit of chewing. you will have to stop churning the food. kids can chew even with their gums. sit infront of your child and eat your food showing how the food is chewed. it will take time but the child will start eating soon. offer very small bites

A. Even Without it some kids car has small small bites they can just keep it into their mouth and swallow it if you keep turning the food like this in your child is never going to get used to you know having solid food so give little little small small bites I’m sure your child do with the gums only little bit
