Many babies in life like to eat soup or porridge at ordinary times. Parents don't like to eat rice or pancakes because their babies don't like to chew. They are anxious and want to know what to do if their babies don't like to chew?
1. Strengthen exercise: The reason why babies cannot chew is because they usually eat soft foods or liquid or semi liquid foods at home. Or parents may cut the food into small pieces for him to eat, causing him to have insufficient jaw bone bite and difficulty chewing. So it is important to encourage babies to practice more frequently to improve the strength, symmetry, and stability of their lower jaw bone bite. For example, between meals, it is appropriate to let the baby eat some pancakes, or cut apples and cucumbers into slices, cubes, or pieces for the baby to eat.
2. Parents should set a good example: If the baby cannot chew or drink with their front teeth, parents can bite and chew the same food to let the baby imitate themselves. At the same time, remind the baby to bite down 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.
3. Make a variety of foods: Babies usually don't like to eat foods that require chewing. Parents can make more fresh and varied foods for babies to attract their appetite, so that babies will gradually accept and improve.
