Baby vomited while having lunch 😞

How can I teach my baby to chew and put small amounts of food in the mouth? He vomited while eating puffs, and I saw big pieces of food like he was not chewing enough. I never leave him alone but I look and thought he was chewing well.

Sometimes I only give my baby one piece at a time because she gets excited. That way a baby can learn the concept of chewing and swallowing

Also, our babies are only 9/10 months old. They’re still learning what it means to eat. Don’t be upset with yourself, especially with those BLW parents who brag about their 8 month old eating a 3 course meal lmao. A babies main source of food remains milk until otherwise. Once a toddler (1 year old) they become more comfortable with eating

Do you use a straw cup? With foods like puffs, sometimes they need a little water to wash it down. I also second only 1-2 pieces at a time. My baby gagged and vomited because he put like 4 pieces of pancake in his mouth at once and then couldn’t chew. With foods like pasta, I also read they need sauce to prevent gagging. The gagging has honestly gotten worse now that we’re doing bite sized pieces and it gives me so much anxiety but I just keep in mind that if they don’t practice, they don’t learn.
