My child is 20months old. He chews dry fruits gathiya and homemade salonis but whenever he is asked to chew a chapati he doesnt. So i give him mashed food. Is it ok to provide him food like this or should i keep forcing him to chew a chapati like we adults do.

Hi first it's not okay to give mashed foods and not okay to force feed the baby also. Looks he prefers sweetness so rejecting other foods. Try rolling the roti with butter or ghee and offer him. You can add vegetables inside and make as rolls. Eat along with him and completely stop giving mashed food. Did you try offering chawal, dosa, idly etc?
