For Healthcare Professionals only.
In this episode of Complementary Conversations, we explore the important role of chewing in early childhood development and how children gradually learn to manage new food textures. From first smooth purées to more complex foods, the conversation highlights how the texture journey supports oral motor skills, jaw strength, coordination, feeding confidence, and speech development. Dr. Marine Devezeaux de Lavergne shares practical guidance on when children typically begin learning to chew, how parents can introduce different textures safely and gradually, and which signs may suggest a child is having difficulty. The episode also offers simple ways caregivers can support chewing development during mealtimes and explains when professional advice may be helpful.A practical and reassuring episode for parents and caregivers navigating complementary feeding and supporting their child’s journey toward confident chewing and healthy eating habits.has context menu
