Whats the chances of my baby choking?

At the initial attempts, baby will most likely gag because he either puts too much food into his mouth at once or because he pushes it too far back. Gagging or the gag reflex is a safety mechanism that prevents choking. Baby learns to move food from the back of the throat to the front thus preventing food from getting lodged in his throat. At the same time, he learns what not to do next time. Choking will be indicated by baby looking terrified, unable to breathe and he or she will make very little noise. To prevent choking, make sure baby is never left alone with food and ensure that the foods are cut into small enough pieces.
