Just early days for us (day 6) but The Samster is already not gagging as much as he was. He actually chewed a breadstick and I almost passed out with excitement (well, perhaps not but it was good to see!!!) If he does gag he just coughs, splutters, shivers and spits out the offending bit of food. I'm more relaxed about him gagging now as I know it goes with the territory. He used to gag much more on a puree than he does now.
