In this case. give a small piece. if they insist on taking the whole thing and shoving it in. while you stand there let them when they cant swallow and have to dump it. and then you say no more. They will learn. I have 3 kids. They all learned lessons similarly. sometimes touching something hot is necessary so they learn to do.

We were shocked that we never knew that stuff just slid down his throat with out any chewing taking place. Sorry, that was probably super gross to imagine!

Our problem is he wants to feed himself now, which makes for lots of chopping. We have found that we can get him to eat an entire bowl of cereal -- a great meal for a child who can't chew -- but only if we give him his own spoon. It's messy, but effective until those molars come in. Since our little guy has no back teeth (he’s 16 months), we still cut everything up for him into tiny pieces.

Our 20-month-old eats like she was raised by a pack of wolves. (My fault, I guess!) When you figure this one out, let me know! Our 20-month-old eats like she was raised by a pack of wolves.
