DD has developed the habit in the last week of chewing foods (particularly meats and some vegies) then just as she is about to swallow she will take the whole thing out of her mouth and put it on her plate.

Last night we had a BBQ and I think she ended up chewing every piece of sausage and returning it to her plate without swallowing one piece.

She still has a decent appetite and is getting all she needs so not worried from a nutrition perspective - but is it likely a teething related behaviour? Texture issues? Just plain old normal 19month oddity that will pass?

I'm sure its normal, just dont recall DS doing it at any stage - Reassure me!
