It doesn't help that lots of people confuse gagging with choking, yeah.

Yeah they are two very different things
We only got questioned once, by friends if DH. We were up there for dinner and got asked what to put on DDs plate when she was about 7 or 8 months. Told them just a mini version of ours. She automatically smooshed everything and Dd looked at her plate and refused to eat. I handed her something off mine and she gummed down on it. They were shocked and asked why we did it that way, what we were teaching her (yeah, cos teaching her to eat real food is bad, right??) and how did we expect to make sure dd was nourished. Hmmmm. Well it is more "real" this way, we are teaching her to eat what she feels she needs to and ummmm food is fun until she's one. All she NEEDS is breast milk ( and that got the big eyebrow raise - even when she was a matter of weeks old and I dared to not hide away!).
This couple were late 40's so not that old either
Older friends and family were more understanding or bit silly enough to question me lol

Initally yep. DD1 wasn't the first grandchild on my side and my sister did what mum told her. My mum has since changed her tune and was doing BLS with my youngest nephew (whom she cared for 7-5 5 days a week).
She was the first on DH's side and they expected me to do what they thought....they have since put up or shut up lol.
Now....call me lazy but it's the easiest way to go I reckon.
