A. You have to take it slowly. You should slowly change the texture otherwise he will be very much used to it that he will start refusing anything in solid form. Keep blending the food but don't blend it completely. Reduce the blending time so that the food is kind of pureed but not completely. Once he gets accustomed to it reduce the blending again so the food is coarse and not completely pureed. You should sit and explain the baby with real actions. Get the babys attention take a spoon of food put in your mouth and show how u chew the food well and then swallow. Ask the baby to repeat it. Let the baby take one spoon of food and feed himself and follow how u chewed the food. Continuous practice with ur involvement will show some improvement.
