What to do if lo dislike to chew food? She lazy and prefer soft watery food that swollow .. She is 13 month old

Maybe she is daunted by the task of chewing food because she's too used to soft watery food? A friend of mine got one of those mesh feeders to train her child how to chew. And since it's such a novelty, baby found it fun to chew on the mesh feeder filled with fruits. Gradually, she took it away and baby has no problems chewing.
