My 6 mth old managed to choke on pellet of ciabatta at the weekend. He'd been sucking away at a piece for ages, then started gagging badly but sorted himself out.
But in the post-gag heavy breathing he sucked the bread back down and genuinely choked - no noise, no breathing or coughing. So I did back slaps head down etc and after a couple a large lump of bread came out.
My husband and I are now both terrified of giving him anything that isn't mush!
Anyone else dealt with real choking (not gagging) - when do you start to get over it??!! Obviously baby isn't bothered at all...
