“Every baby is different. I’ve seen a baby at 9 months take a bite out of his mom’s hamburger and also a baby at 9 months that can’t tolerate stage 2 baby food yet. “If your baby is truly gagging, even on the thinner stuff, bring it up with the pediatrician. There are some medical issues — such as developmental delays — that are presented with not being able to swallow correctly and coordinate the timing. If the gagging is consistent and not improving, it should definitely be brought to the doctor’s attention.” — Lauren Levine, MD, pediatrician at ColumbiaDoctors and assistant clinical professor of pediatrics at Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY
