He gagged pretty bad and it did scare me. Now we cut an apple in half and give him a whole half. He's not able to bite off big chunks that way. banana on "If you do BLW, which foods did LO choke on or struggle with?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-do-blw-which-foods-did-lo-choke-on-or-struggle-with#post-927494 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 15:20:55 +0000 banana 927494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Things that were super thick, like sweet potatoes. Both of my kids gagged on them because of their thick consistency. But they didn't choke on them or anything.

I found softer fruit like pears, peaches, plums were much easier for him. lemondrop on "If you do BLW, which foods did LO choke on or struggle with?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-do-blw-which-foods-did-lo-choke-on-or-struggle-with#post-926937 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 12:34:35 +0000 lemondrop 926937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Scrambled eggs were the worst. He'd chew and chew (or gum and gum), gag, and eventually spit it up- Yuck! travelgirl1 on "If you do BLW, which foods did LO choke on or struggle with?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-do-blw-which-foods-did-lo-choke-on-or-struggle-with#post-926932 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 12:32:57 +0000 travelgirl1 926932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @regberadaisy: That's what we've found too! But then a lot ends up on the floor, it kills me when I give her a big hunk of expensive organic avocado and it slips through her fingers onto the floor after 2 bites, lol. travelgirl1 on "If you do BLW, which foods did LO choke on or struggle with?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-do-blw-which-foods-did-lo-choke-on-or-struggle-with#post-926923 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 12:30:17 +0000 travelgirl1 926923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Thanks guys. So far she's amazed me with how well she picks it up/nibbles/chews, but she's only had very soft stuff.

We try to give anything that is squishable, and in a flattened shape versus a round shape, as that seems easier for him. sera_87 on "If you do BLW, which foods did LO choke on or struggle with?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-do-blw-which-foods-did-lo-choke-on-or-struggle-with#post-926117 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 09:00:36 +0000 sera_87 926117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Whenever he ate too fast he would gag/cough. regberadaisy on "If you do BLW, which foods did LO choke on or struggle with?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-do-blw-which-foods-did-lo-choke-on-or-struggle-with#post-926093 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 08:55:08 +0000 regberadaisy 926093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO was really good about knowing her own personal limits. She would pull food back out if it was too big for her so we never had any gagging issues. I found she did better when we gave her normal sized pieces versus tiny pieces. So your LO might surprise you! But I also realize this is not the norm with babies. travelgirl1 on "If you do BLW, which foods did LO choke on or struggle with?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-do-blw-which-foods-did-lo-choke-on-or-struggle-with#post-926086 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 08:52:07 +0000 travelgirl1 926086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We started doing purees with A but since she refuses to let us,feed her and will only eat from a spoon in her own hand, I thought BLW would really suit her! I was way too scared at first but she blew me away by how well she did with a banana, so I tried avacado chunks, broccoli florets and then the 2 ingredient pancakes and she loves them! So I'm going to try and be brave and embrace it a bit more. I want to avoid potentially troublesome food though so I wondered, are there any foods you've offered while BLW that LO struggled with, or even choked on? Thank you :heart:
