Solids
So I have started purées with my baby but recently have been trying to add more solid food such as eggs or ground beef. He seems to just chew for a while and never swallows! It stays in his mouth but then eventually comes out. Do I just keep trying with hopes he will eventually learn how to swallow?

@Kathryn he’s 7 months. He has been eating purées since 5 1/2 months.
Is little man using a straw cup yet?
It will come in time just keep going! Try different textures and things for them to hold a chew like cucumber or cooked veg sticks
He will get there! Takes time to learn. And spitting it out is actually a great skill to have
I found mashes or very soft solid food to be a nice transition from purees. Sweet potatoes or well cooked eggplant. Avocado. Banana. Well cooked apples or pears. Things they can mash up in their mouth then swallow.

How old is your baby? If he is just starting out of solids it’ll likely come but in time
