Hi! Was hoping for some advice about my 22 month old ds. He's 98th centil on height and weight, happy, well behaved and is developing normally in everyway, however he's got gagging issues and I'm starting to get really stressed about it.
He has always been resistant with certain textures and was slow to wean as a result. Still only likes wet food (covered in sauce or gravy) but will now eat lumps etc. saw the HV about this who was unconcerned as he was clearly thriving and actually eats a very good diet. He will also happily eat , crisps and biscuits and toast without gagging so we know its not that he can't.
Anyway this seems to be slowly improving but now he's started gagging when he sees others eating. Have no idea why it happens or how to deal with it. theres nothing thats triggered it, seems to have started from nowhere a few weeka ago. not keen to force the issue incase he actually vomits, but equally don't want this to continue and he not be able to eat with others as a result.
Anyone know what could be causing this? Any experience? Anyone know how I should handle it, dh and rest of family think Its nothing to worry about but he's my first, I'm also a nurse and its making me really anxious. Starting to avoid eating in front of him or take him places where he may have to eat with others.
Thanks in advAnce :)
