Finger Foods chocking and panicking???
Hey, not been on for a bit and everything has changed???
slightly confused...............anyway
What sort of stage are your lo at with finger foods?
Freddie never had purees i started him with well mashed up instead and he has had a rusk to suck and very small bits of toast which i have torn off and given him straight in his mouth he has been fine with all of these. so i though t i would try some finger foods but i am so panicky he gags a lot which i think i mistake for choking but he does have a wee cough so ends up coughing and spluttering everywhere, but he gets upset if i take the food away, all the while my heart is pounding, did not think i would be so panicky as i teach first aid for the red cross but i am terrible and worried i am going to pass my fears on to freddie.
any advice? where are you all at with it?
thanks in advance.x

Good luck hun x
Gagging has occurred but she clears the food alone as most do, you have to give them time to do it because they have to learn....its the only way.
Stay calm observe but don't jump on him and take his food, let him learn
