HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
At a year, she should be using the same foods as everyone else. The fact that she is coughing means that she is having difficulty chewing and swallowing solid foods.
This needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Her pediatrician should assess her.
Typically, she may need to see speech therapist. These types of therapist deal with mouth and would help her learn to chew and swallow.
I hope this helps
