My baby loves smooth baby foods but spits out any foods with lumps in. What should I do about getting him to chew his foods?
A. It is worth persevering with the lumpier foods as it is important that he learns to chew and this also helps with speech development. If he does not like the lumps, you can try mashing the food with a fork before you give it to him and then gradually mash it less. Another thing you could try is mixing some Stage 1 food with the Stage 2 lumpier food for a while until he gets more used to the lumps.
