my baby gagged so badly today morning she turned red and was choking..she eats normal pureed and seived food. off late she has been doing this often and today when i fed her oatmeal she was bad..i patted on the back and did all ...and then she spit up some stuff...why do you think this is happening.
its not like im giving her chunkier food or something...i stil feed her stage 1 foods..she had acid reflux as a baby..which stopped when she was around 6 months old..Im freaked out crazy and now am scared to feed her solids..do i need to take her to the doc...or what is it? any tips would be helpful.

My daughter gagged alot at this age too, and it is definitely scarey! I had to water down her food more so she could swallow it. It was a texture thing, so until she got used to the textures, it was a little hard. I just kept watering it down less and less until she got used to it, and only gave her one veggie and one fruit at a time until she could handle them, and then added more.
You can go to the doctor. Or you can call and talk to the nurse and see if she thinks you need to come in.

Your Pediatrician or a nurse should be notified, and ask this question.
Babies gag once in awhile for various reasons , including simply not liking the texture of the food. Her problem could be just hat simple BUT I would never take the chance that it was something else -call the office and ask a professional.

My son is 9 months and gags sometimes too. It is ususally when i give him oatmeal or a new food. It's normal I think, it's soft and liquidy enough that they can't get choked on it. He is stage 2 food and eating crackers. He has been fine. You should be ok. But it is scary. Good luck

My first and only tip would be, get off the computer, call her pediatrician and take her in. This is not a question that you should be asking strangers on the internet, GO do it now, there might be something really wrong.
Good luck!
God bless your little one!

Yes, take her to the doctor now.

take her today, demand to get in because that is not a good thing to be happening.
