After the baby is born, all the body's needs are obtained through breast milk, but when the body develops to a certain extent, drinking breast milk alone is not enough. Especially after weaning, it is necessary to eat some easily digestible regular foods, but some babies may not be able to chew them. So, what if the baby can't chew? Is it normal for the baby to not chew?
What if the baby can't chew
Parents can give their children the correct demonstration, for example, if the child cannot chew or drink with their front teeth, parents can bite and chew the same food, allowing the child to imitate themselves. At the same time, remind children to bite with their front teeth and chew with their side teeth. If the drinking ability of the left and right sides of the mouth is uneven, chew more on the weaker side to achieve a balance in chewing ability on both sides. After parents finish teaching, they should encourage their children to practice diligently. For example, apples and cucumbers can be sliced, diced, or diced between meals for children to eat.
Is it normal for babies to not chew
Babies have the instinct to search and suck, but chewing function does not naturally appear with age. Generally speaking, only the action of biting up and down indicates that the baby has the ability to chew food. Some babies may not be able to chew, and parents may be anxious. In fact, there is no need to worry, as long as parents take care of them, train and exercise their children, and let them master chewing ability. Often make exaggerated chewing movements in front of the baby, allowing them to imitate and learn how to chew.
After the baby is weaned, it marks the end of the breastfeeding period for women, and the baby has started to eat regular food, no longer belonging to the category of nursing children. Many parents want to know what to do if their baby can't chew. At this time, parents need to give their child a demonstration and let the baby imitate. Generally, it doesn't take long for the baby to learn.
