Talk to Speech Therapist on Chewing And Eating
Asking for Other, Female, 3 years old, RAJANPUR
Hello Ms. Amina Imran, speech therapist, 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.

If a 3-year-old girl is still eating only pureed food, and you suspect weak mouth muscles (oral motor delay), it's good to support her with gentle, fun exercises to help strengthen her oral muscles. Here are some helpful exercises and activities:
Oral Motor Exercises for Toddlers:
1. Blowing Bubbles – Great for strengthening the lips and cheeks.
2. Blowing through a Straw – Use it to blow cotton balls, water, or bubbles.
3. Drinking Thick Liquids through a Straw – Like smoothies or yogurt drinks.
4. Chewing Practice – Offer soft chewables like:
Cheese cubes
Banana slices
Cooked carrots
Soft breadsticks
5. Using a Chewy Tube or Teether – These are made to help with jaw strength.
6. Sucking Applesauce or Pudding from a Pouch – Builds suction and tongue strength.
7. Licking Peanut Butter or Jam from Lips – Improves tongue coordination.
8. Making Funny Faces – Sticking out the tongue, puffing cheeks, smiling wide.
Other Tips:
Make mealtime playful and pressure-free.
Encourage her to touch food with her lips and tongue before chewing.
Be patient—progress can take time.
