A. besides being a mom , m a doctor. I hope by now she has all the teeth. she doesn't chew means u have been feeding her preferably in mashed form which she's so much used to just gulping down. u got switch over to soft good thats chewable like banana, boiled carrots n other finger foods. u gotto demonstrate every time u feed her. also u must explain how to. I hope she talks by now.

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 !!
