If your toddler is sucking food until it is soft enough to swallow, they may need practice with different textures. Continue offering a variety of finger foods in bite-sized pieces to encourage chewing. You can model the action of chewing for them during family meals and avoid blending everything, as they need to learn to manage different textures. Ensure they are not distracted by screens while eating, as this can lead to 'mindless' swallowing.
