And now for a common question about food being stuck in the mouth for new starters, Nessie wants to know how best to get it out? My top tip which I found always worked, was to give baby a drink of water when the meal was finished, which would loosen any stuck food, and then to lie them on their tummy on the change mat (or a towel) so gravity could do its business and the food would fall out. From a safety perspective, Nessie also mentioned that she knows its important not to put your fingers in babys mouth to hook food out as that could push food into the gullet and cause a choke. Any other top tips? Beth.
