Gagging on Solids

We're going through sort of the same thing. My dd was born on Feb 14 and she is starting to boycott certain textures. Things she used to love, she doesn't like anymore. Also if you dd is sticking her fingers down her throat, she may be vomiting cause she's gagging herself. Gently take her hand out of her mouth and keep feeding her. Does she self feed? Giving my dd something to play with or her own food to pick up and eat seems to help her eat new things. You're handling it well though. Just keep giving her food. Oh, another thought..the bites may be too big. I just remembered that I have to give my dd tiny bites. If the bite's too big, she'll spit it out. Just a though. Good luck!!!

I had somewhat of the same issue with my oldest through many pukky meals and tears I finally figured out that getting it down her throat was the issue. Learning how the whole process was suppose to go. So the foods I found were the most difficult I 1) made sure she even liked the taste first 2) started out with very tiny pieces of it and slowly made the pieces bigger... usually after 5-7 times with one of these food and using this process, she was fine with them.

My daugther was born on February 14th as well and has been doing the same exact thing. I thought it was because she didn't have any teeth yet or that she was a picky eater. She does this with baby food and table food. I was going to talk to her pediatrician about it when we brought her in for her 1 year check up.

Hi there-

My sweet angel was born Feb 4th and did the exact same thing. I just had to keep trying different things- no matter if she threw up or not. Eventually, I found a couple of things that she would eat and before I knew it, she no longer had a problem. Believe it or not, the first food that she ate was Polenta. That was the beginning of the end of this crazy thing. :)

Hang in there and good luck.
