Ok a question for the BLW mothers. I started giving my daughter foods to chew at 6 months old and had waaaay too many instances where she would get food stuck etc and I just couldnt handle the whole watching them gag and dry reach til they vomit everything up anyway. I also went on the fact that the whole reason for food at 6 months to me was to get extra iron SO my daughter is now 11 months old and Ive fed her every single day on home made puréed/mashed/lumpy foods. Cereal/puréed fruit for breakfast, vegetable and meat dishes puréed or mashed for lunch and dinner. I understand the whole concept that now she has learnt to swallow before she chews, she has 7 teeth but couple days ago I made a piece of toast and gave her a square of it and she shoved most of it in and actually tried to swallow the whole thing down, tried a strawberry cut in half she still tried to swallow the whole thing down BUT if I hold the food for her and let her bite bit by bit off she is fine but still doesnt chew. I guess my question is if shes 11 months and got quite a few teeth- how long will it take for her to learn to chew or actually start chewing at all? I also have a 5 year old and did the traditional weaning with her too but I never remember her not chewing at ALL!
