A. you will have to teach your child how to chew the food. it will take time. sit infront of your child and eat your food and show how to chew. your child will slowly learn

A. restrict the baby taking mashed meal or blended or grinded food.. have meal together.. give small bites. of chapati, parantha.. let the baby chew.. give cheeselings or murmure or finger foods to develop chewing habit..
