hhhhm, i'm forced to disagree... but i'm not sure why... i suppose i'd say that if a baby is gagging a lot then the last thing you should do would be to bring food up to their mouths, even if it is in a non-force feedy sort of a way... i think it's because i'd be worried that the baby would suck it off your finger and it would go too far into their throat and maybe cause a choking fit? or am i being too cautious?
