Gagging on anything textured

[punkyjulster]

T will gag as soon as anything other than a purée hits his mouth. He will gag until he pukes everywhere. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions on getting him eating table food?

He may just have a very sensitive gag reflex...

Claire does this. And she even gags on homemade purees if the texture isn't just like jarred.

Same with Tristan. He only wants to eat jarred food now. And, he really only wants things that are sweet. Basically everything needs to have fruit mixed in. I don't always do it and when I don't he will push the spoon away. I've never had a kid picky this early.

Ouiser, thanks for the link. I'm going to try the graham crumb idea.

My best friend from college has a very sensitive gag reflex that is also affected by smell. She pukes very easily. Ick! I hope this is just a "baby thing" he will outgrow.
