Gagging is normal and they’ll naturally spit the food out of their mouth. You’ll know because your baby will be red in face and make sound. Choking is silent, they’ll go white/blue in the face. I watch her at all times and when gagging I keep water near, I wait see her spit it out and offer water. My daughter loves roast potato, I roast them in coconut oil with rosemary and garlic and give veg like carrots or broccoli with it! I want to try roasted veg with her maybe season those with something I made a veg sauce so I cooked different types of veg like eggplant, zucchini, tomato, carrot ect along with oregano/garlic and blended it to make a pasta sauce I have made simple tomato and oregano sauce too always goes down well! Today we had cinnamon eggy bread with banana and yogurt! You can make that savoury though with avocado Omelette fingers is big hit here!
I wouldn’t recommend solid starts as it offers outdated and unsafe advice Learning the difference between choking and gagging and an infant first aid course helped me with my anxiety’s. My lo wouldn’t take a purée or let me feed her, I blw from 7.5 months (6.5 months corrected) the anxiety is real but it does get easier in time Join weaning the BLW way on fb, I wouldn’t have been a confident weaner or have a confident eater if it wasn’t for that group x
Have a look down the group, there are loads of ideas x
