Hi there My name is Rachel (first time Mum) and I'm trying my baby girl (7mths) on BLW as she is not interested in puree and gags all the time. The first real feed went well but since then has started gagging again so I've been reading the many posts on this and have tried to be cool and not make a big deal about it. Her Dad doesn't fully like the 'let her gag and sort it out' but we are getting there. But she has now started gagging with the mucus type spit coming out which is hard to watch, her poor little eyes go watery and that noise they make but once she has spitted up she seems fine and starts playing with the food again. So really I'm just wanting to know how long this phase goes for ... can I help things along somehow? I read someone else mention the mesh bag feeder if I use that for a bit longer will that help her get use to having food in her mouth? She grabs everything and its straight to the mouth to suck and bite so I think she is ready its just this gagging that is holding her back :( Any tips would be much appreciated or directions to other areas in the forum
