Baby led weaning anxiety My 6 month old son prefers to self feed. I've been offering purees on spoons for a while. I follow the Instagram account solid starts which is full of videos of babies eating non pureed foods like little Champions so I figured I would try out some of the suggestions.

He has done a fantastic job with certain foods, he ate a piece of beet like nobody's business. I fed him scrambled eggs, which he loved, unfortunately he had an allergic reaction which caused his face to turn completely red. Then, yesterday during dinner I gave him watermelon, cut according to the recommendations, he was doing good at first and then he gagged on it and barfed everywhere. It was terrifying, the image of him struggling while gagging keeps playing over and over in my mind.

Where do I go from here? The thought of offering him while pieces of food scares me now, I get sick thinking of the next meal time. He's getting bored of purees but I'm so afraid of offering whole pieces of food.
