My 1.5 year old baby just swallows all soft food without biting into it. However if given snacks like waffers, chapati, etc she nicely bites and eats it. How do i get her to chew rice, dal, veges etc? Does swallowing food hamper weight gain?
it’s easier. continue to serve her the same healthy meals you give the rest of the family & make sure she uses a fork and spoon. she’s still learning, so keep an eye on her & get your CPR certification if it will make you feel safer. if weight gain is an issue -talk to the pediatrician & a occupational therapist.
