Choking Stage??? Posted: 01-21-04 08:34am
Sean is 9 month old and he keep putting
too much in his mouth and has been gagging
a lot. Even when I try to get something
out of his mouth like hair or something.
I am starting to worry. Yesterday I gave
him a zwachback and he broke it in half
and shoved the whole half in his mouth so
I had to fish it out. I didnt think he
would do that. Then he got some juice and
came in the kitchen and started gagging
and puking.
Also I tried to start himm on like meats
and stuff, I tried a while ago but he
didnt like it. I gave him a couple bites
and he still puked. I need some advice,
sincce I am gone all day I cant always be
running for him, and what if larry doesnt
catch it. Can someone help me please...
Love you girlies!!

I ont have too much experience and the
other moms may know some techniques, but
maybe u should take him to a doctor and
ask a doctors opinion. Maybe hes allergic
to something or... Just natural reaction
to those kinds of foods?? Sorrry I dont
know too much on this!

Stacie hi! I am danielle, mother of 3
children, one is almost 7 years, then 3
1/2 years and my youngest almost 11
months! To help prevent the gagging, give
him foods cut in bite size pieces, they
should be about ½ by ½ inches, so he won’t
choke. Make sure that he is drinking
while eating, because sometimes they don’t
get enough saliva and its hard to swallow,
causing the gagging. Hope this helps.

Danielle- wow!! Just the person that I
was wanting to answer my question..Well
let me refrase that, just the type of
person, a mom. Thank you for your help
but maybe your misunderstood. I am giving
sean baby food meats and he does this.
And the thing with the zwachbacks I
understand. Usually I do give him small
amount of food like cereal pieces and
stuff...I dont know may that is just the
stage that he is at at this time in his
life..I dont know but I hope that this all
works out!!
Thanks for your pointers..Stacie

Well it could be that either he really
dislikes the baby food or he could be
allergic to it! Try something else, like
use a blender to chop up his meat and see
if that works and if he still gags he may
be too young still for meats, but if it
works, it could be what they are putting
in the bottled stuff! Hope this works!
