This gives them lots of sensory feedback about the food and they learn what is a good bite size for them. Many quickly learn a smaller bite is easier. Some are able to move the food in their mouth and swallow it. Some need help initially by offering smaller amounts. Remember eating is a skill your child needs to learn. It takes time and practice to master.
