No choking, a little gagging perhaps. Because you're giving appropriate food and baby decides how much to keep in it's mouth, there's low risk of choking. The important thing to do if there is, is not to panic! A few pats on the back should be OK. Here's some links to get you started:

Hey all!
Amber - K has no teeth yet either! I hope you enjoy yoga today
Claire - When I upped K's solids to 3 meals a day he got really backed up. I ended up dropping the third meal for a while and I gave him water in a sippy cup which really helped things along. I know Ange chops up prunes to add to yoghurt etc., I have some on hand in case it happens again!
Becky - Happy 7 months to Chelsea for yesterday!
I've done another massive cook up of vegies for K today to freeze, it's so much quicker than making it every day and heaps cheaper than buying jarred stuff.
I've got a chicken roasting in my slow cooker ATM, I hope it turns out OK!

You can freeze veggies? I thought they went off if u put fresh veggies or cooked ones in the freezer? How do u dethaw them safely?

Celtic - Yes you can freezed cooked vegies. I mash things like sweet potato, potato, carrots and pumpkin and spoon each vegetable into ice cube trays (covered with foil). When they are frozen I pop them out and store them in sealed bags. I pull one or two cubes out and defrost/heat them in the microwave. It is OK to heat them this way, but you need to stir it well to avoid hotspots and let it sit for a minute or two. You can also safely heat the vegies up in a saucepan. If you want to defrost them ahead of time, you should defrost them in the fridge. You can also freeze cooked meats in the same way, but they don't recommend you heat it in the microwave because the meat can get very hot in spots which can burn bub's mouth. HTH
Becky - Have fun at MG today, I hope you meet some lovely new people!
Amber - Has that tooth cut through yet?! It's kinda sad when they aren't gummy any more lol!
Have a great day everyone!
