I have a question about my 22 month old toddler.?

Question

I made a mistake only feeding my son puree foods. So now I have been trying really hard to teach him to chew foods. For the longest time he would not chew, he would just swallow the food. I kept showing him and teaching him and he just would not get it. But 2 days ago he has started to eat the toddler finger foods that melt in your mouth. He has been feeding himself it and eating it. Now I think this is the first step for him to eat foods... right? I am not sure if he is chewing the food but he is eating it. Do you think that he still needs help or now will he just need time to learn how to chew better?

Answer 1

don't worry he has teeth right?? Just keep your eye on him when he eats and don't give him big pieces he'll eventually get it, they all do.
