When will 9 month old start chewing??

[Verybusymummyof2]

Exactly that really.
My dd, was premature by 3 months so is coming up for 1 actual and 9months corrected. She is doing pretty well on solids, and is on stage 2 consistency but when I give her tiny pasta shells I am unsure if she is chewing or swallowing them straight down?? She does not have any teeth yet.....
Any ideas?

Teeth don't really matter, most names eat without it. Have you tried her with finger foods? Must admit though that I don't have any experience of premmies.

I would try posting in the weaning section and mention the prem bit in the title, you will probably get more responses

Just keep giving her solids and the chewing will come soon, even before teeth.
