I know this is really a 'food' board question but I thought I'd also try here too in desperation of some ideas/reassurance!
My DS is nearly 9 months and seems to have an awful gag reflex. He is sick every time I try to give him finger foods (various kinds) and even on things like weetabix sometimes. I am feeling really demoralised by this and don't really know what to do. At the moment I'm trying finger foods every day but I don't
think it's good for either of us for him to be sick 98% of the time with them. He's keen to try every time and I also don't want to put him off if he starts associating it with being sick
Any ideas? I'm desperate! Getting lots of pressure from HV and dietician (who we were seeing due to a milk allergy). I know it's important for speech etc. etc. I'm thinking about finding a private paediatrician- what do you think? Or am I overeacting!! I really doubt there is a miracle answer to this but just wondered if any has been through similar.
Many thanks xx
