DD3 was born at home, and 2 hours after the midwives had left she had a very scary episode of choking on muccus. Fortunately dh remembered his first aid, laid her along his forearm and cleared it - but it was a very long 60 seconds of her not breathing.
This has left me with a major fear of her choking again. I weaned my older two children (now 9 and 7) in the days before BLW, but they soon learnt to manage finger foods and feed themselves. DD3 is 6 months and very keen to feed herself, but she also has two teeth; today she managed to bite lumps off a banana and a pear and gagged on both. The look on her face was so reminiscent of the choking episode that I'm not sure I can face it again.
I know that she has to learn to deal with lumps, and that gagging is not the same as choking - but when I see the gagging coming I panic. Advice/reassurance please!
