Mom of a 5 yr 2 m old boy3 years ago

Q.

My child is 21 months old. There are 14 teeth. But he refuses to chew. He eats only dal-rice , khichdi, cerelac, etc… only semi liquid food. He refuses to eat roti and biscuits like solid food. So any suggestion can help me better.

A. hii, *#Tips for making kids Chew* Have u tried anything Kadak kadak types like Chakli?? Ghanthiya?? Kadak puri?? Give a piece of this only when U have time... Sit in front of him... Ur eyes on him... Focus on him... Let the world go to hell... Concentrate on him alone.. Telling u sooo much.... Coz u are gonna teach chewing... And with kadak stuff... 🔴🔴🔴 *choking hazard if not well chewed...* So what u do is... Take a piece for him... One for u... Bite on a piece... And chew on it.... Make those yumm yumm sounds... Show him how tasty it feels to chew and eat... What ever it is that u are eating... Baby will copy. But simultaneously repeat....and Repeat...and repeat... If u don't chew and eat.... It will get stuck In ur throat... Do choking action and show.... Kids see learn and then understand and copy well... U can give roasted peanuts... Dadiya... Kadak ghanthiya... Kadak puri... Chakli... Makhaanas... Murmura... Chikki... Etc These come to my mind now... Remember.... Let the world go to hell... U concentrate only on him.... Dudh ubal gaya toh ubalne de... Roti jal gayi... Jalne de... Jab tu usko kadak cheez deti hai... Sit in front and focus... Baaki kaam jaye bhaad mein... Kid safety is more important. Nazar hati durghatna ghati... Be very Careful. Hope this helps you
