My daughter sometimes chokes on lumpier foods but then not on others. Is this normal? She is an active baby and is crawling, how many bottles does she need a day?


A Thankyou for your question. Yes it is normal for babies to choke a little on food. When the baby is learning to chew they sometimes do not chew the food properly and swallow lumps that make them gag. Try to offer lumpier foods that are soft in consistency. To encourage chewing also offer finger food that is soft and easy to chew e.g sticks of cooked carrot, pears & banana and other soft fruits.
