I've explained the choking/gagging thing - and told him that she's gagged on yoghurt as much as finger foods, so he knows. I guess he's just nervous 'cause he's at work during the week so doesn't get to see her munching as much as I do! (I've done a resus. class - just need to book him on one) Discovered that she LOVES mature cheddar almost as much as beef - I was very impressed with her cheese disolving abilities at lunch :-) Thanks for the moral support guys! It helps to know it's worth hanging on in there.
