Talk to Pediatrician on Chewing And Eating
Asking for Other, Female, 3 years old, Jampur
Hello concerned, I want to share my daughter's case. She is 3 years old now but she only eats Pureed form of food. She is unable to swallow solid foods. She even does not know how to use her teeth to chew the food. This is really concerning as being parents. She has selected type of food which her mother has to make in Pureed form. Otherwise she speaks and understands well. She is an active baby. I have consulted a lot of pediatricians but they told me she will learn eventually by age. But someone has told me that this case falls under a speech therapist.
If yes then kindly guide me further for consultations and sessions.
By the way I am a doctor myself practicing as a anaesthetist.

No relation with speech therapy.Mother hasn't introduced solid foods at 6 month ,a developmental milestone at which infants learns to chew and swallow.Now stop giving her pureed foods,introduce solid ,She will take when she feels hungry.If you keep on giving feeder and offering pureed forms,She will never learn swallowing.You have to keep her hungry and offer solids only

Hello, this is the age where autistic features starts developing with varied presentation. Make sure she doesn’t fall into that. Better to get checked with paediatrician with expertise in behavioural paediatric.
