My 15 mo keeps stuffing her mouth to maximum, i'm afraid she'll choke. it was difficult transition to solids so i don't want to discourage her eating?

Slow her down: Don't discourage her eating, just slow her down. Take her hand and lovingly tell her to chew and swallow what she's eating before taking another bite. Also model how to eat and make it all into a game.
