Gagging when eating.
I know it’s perfectly normal & ‘ok’ for baby to gag when eating solids but does anyone else really struggle watching it? My whole body goes into panic mode. I try to not let me little one pick up on it of course as I don’t want them to panic but god, I’m finding it really difficult.
I also feel an immense feeling of pressure that baby should be eating more textured things rather than purée’s. Purées I am completely comfortable with & so is baby. She eats so well off a spoon etc.
Anyone in the same boat?

I’ve done BLW with both mine and had no issues. If you’re not comfortable just give purée. BLW is mainly exploring food x
I did a combo of BLW and puree with all 3 of mine. I find the gagging unnerving but I found that the more practice they have the quicker they get past it. I got scared with my first and gave more purees but she still went through the gagging phase when she went back to solids 🤷🏻♀️ I think it's unfortunately a stressful wave we have to ride 🤣

This is why I don’t do BLW. Purées only for now until she’s older and is ready to start on ‘solids’
