Solids are ridiculously scary!

My wife and I are beginning solids with our baby at 6 months. She’s 7 months old now and loves oatmeal, and purées, but the moment we added a strip of softened pear in her life is the moment we lost 10 years life expectancy with the instant stress it produced!

Seriously how do you guys and gals cope with the gag and fear of choking?

We decided to go with smaller bite sized pieces of fruit and veggies rather than the strips.

It also ruined my diaper changing experience lol. The not so bad diaper changes became “so bad!”
