Most children at 6 months have 2 or 4 front teeth, they can not be chewed. Often young mothers are concerned that the child does not know how to wish, suffocates, does not eat solid food. This is a very common problem. It appeared not long ago, when pediatricians revised the terms of introduction of complementary foods. Previously, the baby received his first drying before the teeth appeared, he learned to chew the gums.
Since it is impossible to chew the 4 front teeth, they prevent the gums from chewing. If the mother does not want to give the child at 6 months to gnaw pieces of fruit or a steering wheel, then it is better to wait until a full set of molars appears. Somewhere from the age of one year the child already uses solid food and chews small pieces.
How to teach your half-year-old baby to chew? It is necessary to put the baby in such conditions, where he simply can not not chew. There are rules for your baby.
Chew, swallow
You need to practice the skills of chewing, movement. Then you need chewing marmalade and marshmallows. You can tell a child that you will give, only you need to chew. Of course, in this case the product must be of good quality.
Break the wiper
"Break" or lose the wiper (tolkushku, strainer, blender, mixer). Show the child the result, smoke and promise to buy another strainer on occasion. Suggest the baby to put food in a plate with a fork. The child will have to start chewing.
Stop cooking the child's dishes. When the baby refuses to eat other dishes, do not feed. But in accessible places leave products for a snack. This snack will not spoil the baby's stomach. Such drastic measures will teach a child to chew quickly. The result depends on your perseverance.
Often children chew a new unfamiliar dish. Think about how to expand the diet. Only novelty is not offered in crushed and wiped form.
Visit more often. Picnics on the nature, trips to catering establishments, a snack in the park on the move, surrounded by other children, act on the child positively. The principle should be the same - you need to eat, what is, because there will not be another meal.
Suggest a kid in 6 months "pomusolit" bagel, a crust of bread, a biscuit biscuit, he will do it with pleasure. There will be a massage of the gums, this will well affect the teaching and training of the child to chew solid food. Therefore, when you begin to introduce complementary foods, chewing will not be particularly difficult.
