Finger food / BLW mamas -- increased gagging?

Vicky

Hey ladies!

So we've been doing finger foods for almost 1.5 months now. It's normal for our guy to gag a little (usually no coughing, just opening his mouth wide and letting the food fall to the front of his mouth) a few times a meal. The more practice he gets with a food (broccoli, sweet potato "fries," cucumber) the less he gags.

Recently, though, I've noticed an increase in gagging, even with foods he is super familiar with...any ideas why this might be happening?

He's also had a little cough (but no other symptoms)...maybe that's related?

Also he hardly touched his lunch today...that's probably down to teething right? (Pretty sure three are coming through on top -- very soon!)

Thank you!
