A. She is still small, she will learn soon. Try shifting to hand mashed fod if you are giving puree. sit infront of her and show her how to chew the food. Eventually she will learn how to chew.

A. Hi dear good afternoon Try to give different flavored food. Have a weekly plan that doesn't repeat any same taste. This is the first trick. Don't ever force feed baby. Try to use plates if your baby is getting older as they get scared seeing the same bowls or use different colored cups and bowls. Don't feed constantly over a stretch leave a break for five mins so they come back again. Feed at different places 10 mins here n 10 mins out this way it will relax their minds and yours too. Give few spoons of water in between feeds
