Hiya, little misses E & G are almost 5 1/2 months old and despite the fact that they are thriving and happy on breast milk alone, I am getting a lot of pressure from DH and his family to start solids even though they know I want to bf for the full six months. DH keeps trying to give G in particular food but I am noticing that whenever he tries anything other than really soft stuff, she is gagging and vomiting, plus she still seems to have some tongue thrust going on.

Am I right in thinking that if she is gagging, she is not ready for solids? Both girls will watch when we eat but are making no moves to physically try and grab our forks/spoons. And when they are ready, will they choke and gag less or is that something I have to be extremely vigilant about?

TIA
