DS Gagging himself

[czekit7]

My DS is now almost 4m/o, and instead of just sucking on his fingers/hands, he sticks it WAY down his mouth and GAGS himself, over and over again. Any suggestions?? :)

Ugh...my youngest did this too. If I remember correctly, we would just gently pull her fingers out of her mouth and say "no"....without a big reaction, so as not to make it a "game." She eventually stopped.

i just let him do it. he never gagged to the point of actually puking. *opinion* - i think it helps them desensitize the back of their mouths so they're ready for solids.

it did make my mama nervous, though.
