Hey ladies! I just wondered if anyone has experienced the same feelings as me and if so how they got over them...
My daughter is 7 months. We started weaning when she turned 6 months. However, she gags quite a lot and as a result 9/10 is sick after the gag. It's made me very anxious when I know it's coming up to meal times as I hate seeing her gag/be sick and most of all am worried she is going to choke. She takes puréed foods ok and has started having weetabix which is slightly lumpy but if I give her anything else a little lumpy like mashed potato or try blw with a soft steamed carrot stick, it just doesn't go to plan. I'm feeling sad that I'm not enjoying her meal times and am worried my nerves will rub off on her. I have spoke to my HV who has given me ideas on what to give her and she has told me its good she has a gag reflex. But still doesn't put my mind at rest. She has offered to come to my house one meal time to help if I'm still struggling. But really wanted to do this without having to see her.
Also, over the last month or so I have become such a worrier about general things to do with my daughter. A lot of the time thinking the worse. I just wish I was more laid back.
Sorry for the long post!
Look forward to hearing from anyone that may have felt similar or has any tips or advice. X
