A. your baby needs still time to understand but i suggest you encourage for self eating, give finger food as a snacks. Give all family food in soft and little mashed form..don't give puree form.Porridges should not be watery. It should be thick enough not to fall off the spoon.

A. Hello dear parent! Gradually include finger foods to your child to encourage chewing. Give cut fruits and vegetables in Babyhug stainless steel bowls to make it attractive. Be patient and persistent in your efforts. Above one year your baby should be able to eat all the homemade healthy foods in normal form. Good luck and take care.
