I'm glad this is so common, before reading this I had only heard about it once in the Yahoo group. Archie gagged on a piece of toast ages ago so I foolishly thought we were past that stage now. Archie was happily chewing on a scottish pancake in a playgroup (they give you FREE food, so of course we have to go) I was looking at him feeling proud over my 8 month old little miracle when he suddenly started gagging and very soon after threw up all over himself. I felt not so proud wiping his trousers with his socks (!) the baby wipes were nowhere in sight of course as I'm a less organised mum than some others who always seem to have everything exactly where they need it, when they need it!!
