Oopsie, I've scared myself re:BLW! :roll:
Well we're not officially weaning yet. but the other day James had a suck on a strawberry and enjoyed it.
So today I had an apple, and thought I would give him a bit. He was sucking away quite merrily, until a piece came off! About a centimetre long. He gagged, then it was moving about in his mouth. He started to get upset, so naughty mummy fished it out. Which I know you're not supposed to do, and he got even more upset!
He's only 10 day away from being 6 months. but BLW isn't supposed to start until then. So not to self, cooked apple or ones that are a little harder in future!!
I don't know if he could have swallowed that piece, as he doesn't get chewing or anything yet. But wasn't prepared to find out! xx

I've read on here before that babies gag reflex is very far forward so it's unlikely that he would have swallowed it.
Glass of wine tonight i reckon!!

I'm sure we'll be fine. I'm doing BLW and purees so he'll get used to it. xx
