Forgive my stupid question, but how did you teach your baby how to chew?

As the title says, how did you teach your baby how to chew? Right now he’s just kind of swishing food around in his mouth and then swallowing it. He is 11 months old. I did break my hand somewhat recently so I backed off of any food that he could choke on and he was eating purées for about six weeks and soft foods, I’m anxious anyway about choking, so I tend to be very careful with what I give him. But is there like a good way to teach him how to chew that won’t flare up my anxiety about choking? And when did your baby learn how to chew on their own?

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely, first time nervous mom
