A. it is very common that during the initial one or two years the child might take liquid or semi solid diet. but you can always gradually shift to semi solid to solid diet with increasing consistency and you shave to progress by 20% to 30% every few weeks. it is a learning process of swallowing as well as she is going by the child so do not worry and continue your efforts.s the child will learn the chewing process gradually because the child is always copying people around them

A. hello you should give baby semi solid food and liquid based food in the diet and try to give liquid based food which the child can swallow for now and as the baby grows it will be all fine and any concern then it is better to check with your doctor and your doctor will be able to guide you
