I do baby-led weaning with my 9 mo. frequently i find 1 or 2 pieces of food still in his mouth long after his eating session (e.g. at night when i brush his teeth). i usually do not take it out cos i know it will be gone. he doesn't spit it out also. my worry is that he will choke at night if he falls asleep with it still in the mouth. will this happen? shld i take it out by bedtime? any advice from babyled weaning experts?

It's always good to see ur LO mouth after eating, my LO always open mouth and shout etc, hence can fee whether there is anything in his mouth or not. And they will tend to move their mouth when they have sth inside in their mouth so i will check his mouth, incase he pick up anything to put in his mouth like toys or watever he can find. They may not have food but other things in their mouth instead. So good to monitor their mouth behavior.
