OMG she just choked
I've always been paranoid about choking and tonight Summer had finger food for the second time (just turned 7 months).
She started choking and I really didn't know what to do, just grabbed her out of the high chair and slapped her on the back, was just about to run out of the house to get help when she threw it all up and slowly started breathing again. That has made me even worse and scared the life out of me. I'm never givng her finger food again!!!!!!!!!!! Still shaking now.

Try again in a few weeks when you think she's really ready and start with disolvable foods. xox
Hope she's ok next

Zoey - URRRGHH! Lol.
Lol Zoey, did you tell him after?xx
She was fine and it is a learning curve for them but it used to keep me awake at night worrying that she would choke the next time I gave her finger foods!
Zoey - Bleurghhhh!
When I start my daughter on a new fingr food I always make sure my husband is present. Im afraid of her choking. I startd on the orgnaix puffs then slowly moved on. I found what made me more comfortabkle givin her finger foods, was by putting the piece of food in my mouth and seeing how easy it is to be swalloed buy sucking and a little chewing.
Zoey...eeewwww to your mums actions!
My hv is meant to be organising an evening for the mums in the area to come along and practise resuscittion (?sp) and choking on dummies. I want to do the choking one, as I think it would make me feel more confident in real life situation.
Maybe speak to your hv and see fi tehy could arrange something. xxx
