EP.3 | What age can a child "start chewing"? 🍚👶

If you still eat rice, you have to look back at "chewing development," not just the number of teeth!

Many mothers think

"You don't have many teeth yet, so you can't chew."

Or "I'll be able to chew."

In fact, chewing is practiced at the beginning of the diet, and each child may develop differently quickly and slowly.

🍼 Timeline Development Chewing

👶 6-8 Months | Start Food Management Practice

The cubs begin to push their tongues and move food in their mouths.

It may not be chewing as an adult rhythm yet, but it is learning to manage food.

👉 Meat should suit the skills and safety of age.

👶 9-12 months | start "chewing" clearer

There began to be more grinding of food with gums and jaws.

Gradually, the diversity of texture should be increased according to availability.

Still occasionally found, but should see better development

👶 12-18 months | Chew more fluently

Chewing and moving food in the mouth should be more effective.

You start to cope better with a variety of foods.

👧 18-24 Months | Diversity Training

Children should gradually chew food more fluently.

And learn many forms of food management.

👧 2-3 years | Skills should develop a step further

Most children should clearly have better chewing skills.

If you eat almost every meal, eat very limited or take an unusually long time, you should notice more.

🧠 Insight that mothers often misunderstand.

"No teeth = can't chew," ❌

Children can start chewing with their gums and jaws at the start of their diet.

And the important thing is not to wait for your child to have all his teeth.

It's about giving you training, a healthy, safe texture.

⚠️ If the baby coughs / chokes often, food freezes in the mouth, eats very little, or has ongoing eating problems, the pediatrician or eating and swallowing specialist should be consulted.

💡 Easy to remember

6 months = Start training

9-12 months = start chewing clearer

1-2 years = Chew more fluently

2-3 years = Skills should develop more

📌 Save for the development of children by age.
