At 2 baby doesn't have enough teeth to chew like an adult, nickolay. What exactly are you expecting here?

If you want your baby to go off a liquid, or liquid enhanced diet, you will have to start with foods that are finely chopped or mashed.

Your baby doesn't have to have jaw therapy. You need to read some books on how to properly feed a 2 year old.

You are expecting too much.

I don't think you're expecting too much. My baby is 18 months old and eats the same things as the rest of the family. So did my other children at that age. There was no issue with chewing or swallowing. Talk to your pediatrician if you are concerned. A mother knows their baby better than anyone else.

Yes I would like to know what you are feeding and what foods are a issue?

Good answer, and I agree but we don't know particulars, mama, to make an informed comment. Let's see what becomes of our questions.
