Start with softer foods, cut blueberries, eggs, banana slices, avocado slices, maybe even crispy toast to naw on
@Helen yes she has she had bitty foods even softer cooked pasta and vegetables cut into smaller pieces and sometimes she is fine with it other times she gags
@Julianna thank you ❤️
Gagging is quiet a normal response because their gag reflex is at the front of their mouth when they're newborn as as they put things in their mouth to teeth they start to push it to the back of their mouth where it should be. Weaning helps this process. It's not a fun process, I hate the gagging too. But it does get better as they learn how far they can put things in their mouth and how much
Try the Solid Start app on how to appropriately cut and serve different food :)
Gagging is really normal and strangely is a good sign
Highly recommend solid starts app! ♥️🙌🏽 banana, buttery toast, scrambled eggs are a great place to start. ✨ xxxxx
my little one still gags sometimes on food that he already had before, we started mix of blw and pures at 6 months but toast and butter is great as a start..don’t worry, you’re not behind☺️14 months here and he still doesn’t have a proper meal ..just snacking on food.just remain calm when gagging and encourage her .i was terrified but it does get better x
Gagging is an important part of weaning, as horrible as it can be to watch! I'd bite the bullet personally and start BLW as if she was 6 months old. My girl is 8.5 months and will feed herself most things, she does gag sometimes though, but as time has gone on she's learnt and gags less. She will have plenty of teeth at this age, so I'd give toast, omelette, banana pancakes etc
Has she had lumpy foods? That will help and soft foods like toast are a good start
