My Baby is 15 months old now.. he has 2 front upper teeth and 4 front lower teeth now. He is not biting any kind of food(even boiled potato). He is just swallowing. we need to blend or grind the food everytime. How to practice him with biting and eating foods?
Dear, Welcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. Your infant is not conversant with chewing and eating, and needs to be trained. Usually, before this period, the child is supposed to chew on soft toys. Parents or caregivers should encourage chewing on soft toys during the period of 6 months to 1 year. That is the basic training step. In between feeding, you should provide your finger or some semi hard food between his teeth and encourage him to chew. Regarding the digestion part, the child Chat Doctor.  Therefore, the current scenario is not at all alarming. You should provide the food well blended or ground.
