Hi there - my DS is 6.5 months and I started him on purees at about 5.5 months. Having looked seriously at BLW and puree options I decided on purees and have introduced finger foods over the last 2 weeks following each puree meal. Unfortunately on a couple of occasions, DS has gagged badly. After not being able to breathe for a couple of secs, I've given him a solid pat on the back and all the food he has eaten comes pouring out - more to my distress than his, it has to be said.
I am reticent to try finger foods again for a while as it seems DS is just not ready. Anyone else experienced this and if so - how did you deal with it? Seems a lot of babies just adapt seamlessly from breast/bottle to chewing - but my DS is clearly not one of these!
