gagging on solids

Morgan • Baby #2, here we go!
Hi Mamas. I need some feedback. We have been on solids since 6 months. Sometimes she will gag on foods she doesn't like (mango and pears) or when she's not very hungry. It's not often but it happens. Well I've started increasing the consistency from puréed to chunky but she seems to gag when it's not puréed. It's pretty dramatic how she gags and can be scary for me. She is making the chewing motion at times and is able to pick up foods by herself but doesn't try to eat it. I gave her a teething wafer and she loved it, until it melted and broke off into her mouth. She spent 3 minutes gagging and trying to get out the mush. Could this be temporary? Or perhaps we may be discovering a sensitive gag reflex? HELP!
