Start him off with simple foods. Earths bests organic baby oatmeal was a great starter for mine ! Also rated amazing on Yuka app 100/100!🥰

No matter what age you start your baby, gagging is normal and it’s how they learn to eat properly! It’s definitely scary at first omg I didn’t even want to give him solids!! But when they gag, and they bring their food up, you learn to trust them because they’re showing you that they can get the food out if need be. I think you should start with purées to gain some confidence and get baby used to it! But be mindful that babies who only have purées, their jaw muscles don’t always develop as they should and it can cause speech delays etc. maybe do some research on this yourself if you need too. It’s definitely great for starting though! Goodluck 🤍

100% be prepared for the most confused looking face and gagging noises. It’s a little terrifying at first, but as long as you’re with your babe and watching closely, you’ll be able to stop something if it seems like something is wrong. We didn’t do purées so I can’t advise much on it, just tiny bits of whatever we were eating. Literally no matter what it was or what seasoning was on it. Our peds said not to be afraid of seasonings because their little tongues don’t even have all their taste buds yet. So it helps them explore flavor and be more comfortable with it! Anyways, after a week of tiny bits every time we ate, he became really confident in eating. Still would gag every once in awhile, but!! The!! Boy!! Can!! Knockkkk!! Back!! Some!! Food!! Now!! Lolol. Eggs, noodles, and chicken especially hate to see him coming 😂 My advice is just use your mommy heart to guide you on what’s best for your baby. Be patient and persistent. You can do this mama! ♥️

Haven’t started solids either but because I accidentally touched my baby with my scrambled eggs and found out she had a reaction to it so there may be an allergy or intolerance so I’m waiting a little to see if it will go away once I do start , just wanted to tell you it’s ok if you haven’t started but if you start with baby led weaning just make sure veggies are very soft so they can grab but still chew easily and not choke

Look up how to do the baby Heimlich and it’ll help with anxiety. I also bought the baby vac off Amazon just in case of emergencies
