My son is 14 months old and doesn't chew his food unless I really sit infront of him and tell him and do the action... he just bites the food and tries to swallow it whole. It frightens the life out of me... he did it the other day with a banana and choked but he still tries to just swallow food. I've seen the health visitor etc and they have all said to keep trying as his tongue is OK and he is saying words so they are not worried about his mouth movements... he has 8 teeth now too... I'm wondering if any other parents have had this problem and what to suggest please as he is my 3rd child and I've never experienced this before. Thank you
