Hi there, New member and not sure about all this. My dd is 10 1/2 months old and has always been an excellent eater until a few days ago. She's started gaggin as she is fed her savoury food or yoghurt, but is ok with rice cakes, bread sticks, stewed fruit and oranges. Last Thursday she was sick whilst taking her tea, but it was obvious that there was some lunch in there too! and she was a little sick yesterday when given a piece of cooked carrot. Today she was ok with breakfast and dinner - we have been taking it slow with small mouthfuls and lots of encouragement. However teas was a different matter. I cut down the amount but still she was gagging alot. I gave her lots of water with the food, and when she started turning her face away I stopped and changed to yoghurt - which she usually loves. She was pulling - I don't like this - face, and then gagged again and then the whole lot came back, not projectile, it just sort of flooded out. She was obviously v upset. Calmed her down and changed her, and let her have a breast feed, for comfort as much as sustenance. We then gave her a tiny bit of bread - gagged again and brought back all the milk. Calmed, bathed and changed her. Fed her breast milk again and she fed quite well and has gone down to sleep (petrified she will be sick in the night and choke). She does seem to have a bit of a temp, but I'm not particularly good at taking it so not reliable.
Anyway long way round to question - is this a stage? Should I get her to the doc's asap - don't want to be one of those panics at everything mums - similar experiences and results greatly appreciated.
