It is usual. Have patience. Try to train him. By the time he will learn to chew and swallow. This problem is usually seen in child where child on bottle feed till older age, or if parents feed their chid after grinding the food in mixture - grinder, or if child has delayed milestones.

Do not give biscuits. As he grows older, he will learn to chew. Put a separate plate for him while you have food,do not feed him showing mobile or TV. Mix vegetables in the food he likes.
