It's learned, this is why you start with pureed and then work your way through textures. I started Lily at about 6.5 months and slowly introduced foods. Now, at 10 months she's chewing, bananas, peaches, apples and cheese. She still struggles with some textures. Keep in mind all babies are different.
Savanah is 7 1/2 months and chews her yogurt melts, gerber puff things, bananas (chopped up), little pieces of oranges, the baby chettos, baby cookies and a few other things with no problems and she just kinda caught on herself no help here sorry!
Yeah o just stocked up on Gerber stuff anything that says CRAWLERS is what I got. Ember is 6 months as well she watches everything when she's at the table so I think that helps too!!! Hope it works out for him!!!
I have never done pureed with all three of my kids. My lo cant chew either, shes 6.5 months and no teeth. I just give her pieces of food she can try to pick up and put in her mouth that she swishes around with her tongue lol. The gag reflex is closer to the front of the mouth in babies like a defense mechanism so it may seem like lo is choking, baby is learning
