So weird. Our family has horrible gag/smell reflexes as well as texture problems. I mean everyone, from parents to siblings to cousins...lol that's why I am a little curious if she has picked up on that wonderful trait or not. I will wait a week and try again :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-gags-on-everything-i-try-and-feed-her#post-580330 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:14:54 +0000 tysonja 580330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when we first began (around 5 months) LO seemed to enjoy eating, but wasn't too good at swallowing properly :) i wouldn't notice anything while he was eating, but when he was done I could hear that there was stuff in his lungs/windpipe by the sound of his breathing... :) we just stopped/slowed down for a week or two and it got better! i'm sure your LO will develop a taste for all the yummy foods you are giving her soon! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-gags-on-everything-i-try-and-feed-her#post-580319 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:11:34 +0000 Weagle 580319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I doubt there's any rhyme or reason to the gagging :) I agree with @tysonja: Hold off for a bit and then try again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-gags-on-everything-i-try-and-feed-her#post-580313 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:10:05 +0000 Bao 580313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: I thought of that..hmm. She is almost 6 months old, so maybe she isn't ready </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-gags-on-everything-i-try-and-feed-her#post-580310 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:09:16 +0000 tysonja 580310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how old is your LO? :) </p> <p>in order to not create any bad associations (not sure if this even happens, though...?) maybe you could just stop altogether for a week and then try again? :) hope it works out!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-gags-on-everything-i-try-and-feed-her#post-580298 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:06:39 +0000 Bao 580298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started solids about a month ago and she did fine the first few days, then all the sudden she started gagging on every puree I tried giving her. The only thing (the first food we tried) she didn't gag on was squash puree. I have literally tried 15 other things. She eats them, but gags...any idea why? Do you think she really doesn't like the taste or maybe it's a texture thing? </p>
