Why Baby Gags Himself?

Gagging is a normal reflex babies have as they learn to eat solids, whether they are spoon-fed or you're doing baby-led weaning. Gagging brings food forward into your baby's mouth so he can chew it some more first or try to swallow a smaller amount.
Why is my toddler gagging for no reason?
Your toddler might gag on something he shouldn't have in his mouth — watch out for choking hazards — but he might also gag if he eats too quickly or has too much food in his mouth. He may even gag if he doesn't like the taste or texture of what he's eating.
When should I worry about baby gagging?
Call 911 or rush to your nearest emergency room if your baby experiences:
- Bluish skin color (cyanosis)
- Difficulty breathing/cessation in breathing.
- Inability to cry or make much sound.
- Loss of consciousness.
- Ribs and chest pulling inward when inhaling.
- Soft or high-pitched sounds while inhaling.
- Weak, ineffective coughing.
