My baby has suddenly started crying whenever eating solids over the past couple of days. Even if it's a chunky purée. I can't work out if it's a pained cry or a frustration cry. Could it be hurting his gums/teeth?

My 8,5 month old baby is still only eating purees. This because I am so afraid of her choking and I don't know how to get past this. I told my healthvisitor but she was very insensitive and not helpfull. I have a fear of choking myself (I avoid eating certain foods and don't eat on planes or boats). I know baby's...

So I told my dad I don’t want him and my grandma to come to the hospital after I give birth.
