BLW - gagging

Hi mamas, I’ve been doing mostly purées and giving tiny tastes of my food but just recently moved on to baby led weaning for lunch times! Does anyone else’s baby shove loads of food in their mouth? She has teeth so she can bite pieces off but she takes huge bites or shoves another piece straight in! And then when she’s swallowing she looks like she is struggling and sometimes does some pretty scary gags! Is this normal or do I need to cut her food smaller? I’m cutting most things into finger like shapes that she can easily pick up and bite pieces off of!
