Baby Led Weening
My 7 month old has an EXTREME gag reflex. Anytime I try to give anything outside of milk or SUPER pureed, he gags and throws up as soon as it hits the back of his throat to swallow. This is my second child, my first son could eat like a champ. I could give him things like avocados, bananas, eggs cut into strips, etc. and he would be fine. He had the usual gagging to try to chew and swallow his food but nothing that was this intense as my second born. My second born even throws up and gags when I tried to give him unsweetened applesauce, so it seems like anything with any sort of texture, causes him to gag and throw up. I really liked doing baby Led Weening with my oldest because it made it easier if we went out to restaurants and he could just eat off my plate instead of having to remember to bring jarred food.
Is there any advice for this? Should I call my doctor about this or is it just something some kids go through? Is there something I could do to help him build more of a tolerance so he isn't throwing up every time he eats something?
