BLW - vomiting

[Elisianna]

We have just started giving Lucie solids a few days short of her six month birthday. She has had banana, and chewed on some sweet pepper.

However today while we were out with my parents (my mother is firmly against BLW too!!) my baby gagged a lot over avocado then tried some steamed broccoli and vomited all over herself. (She had one little piece of broccoli just movi around her mouth and she just couldn't get it out)

I felt terrible, embarrassed, and I am sick to my stomach thinking about it happening again...

Did it happen to your babies? When did it end? Is it dangerous??

I wouldn't worry about it. We've been doing BLW since LO turned 6 months, and the same thing has occassionally happened to her. Happened today as a matter of fact! I can probably count on one hand the number of times it's happened in the 2.5 months she's been eating table food though. It's all part of the process.

It happened to us a couple of weeks ago. She's had sticks of banana but didn't really put it in her mouth. so a week later we gave her a stick of steamed carrot and she ate some. about half an hour later, after playing and seemig fine, she vomited a bot, then a bit more & was gagging
oh my gosh she vhanged colour and went chalk white, even her lips did. and vomited loads again and a bit of carrot came up. thank god MIL was holding her as unfortunately i went into panic mode shebperked up a bit and about an hour later i took her for a feed, she only had one side and chucked up again. oh looked after her while i got changed and she was sick twice more and a big bit of carrot came up. MIL was saying she must have had a bif lodged in her throat and at first i agreed but thinking back, they were big bits of carrot and she qouldn't have been happily playing for 20mins if it was in her windpipe. i think they were just too big for her little tummy to deal with. I:ve had jer on purées this week as too afraid of it happenong again. gutted because i really wanted to do the blw thing but i think i'll just introduce finger foods next month instead.
