A. Some babies take more time than others to develop chewing habits just because they are not willing to. To inculcate the habit of independent eating, try to keep giving him finger foods regularly. Instead of pureed form, start making foods a lot more chunkier. Initially, he might take time to swallow and finish off the food, but with your patience, he would soon start eating solid foods.
