Why does my child gag on certain textures but eat others?
Little Lunches Expert Answer
Some kids gag with certain textures because their gag reflex is still sensitive, or they just aren’t used to how that food feels in their mouth yet. This is pretty common as they’re learning to eat. Try offering very small pieces, letting your child touch and explore foods, and modeling slow chewing. Keep pressure low. If gagging happens often, chat with our AI for personalized feeding tips.
