every time ds gets a tiny chunk of food, he turns all red, starts gagging, and eventually throws up everything he just ate. how is this kid ever goign to eat actual food?! any advise on how to get him past this or will he eventually get over it?

1. How old is your kid?  He may not be ready for table food.

2. How tiny of a chunk are you cutting it?  It might be the perfect "choking" size.

3. Does he choke on simple things like puffs?

LOs will gag as they're figuring this out.  It happens.  But if it's to the point where he's always turning red and vomiting then he may not be ready, you may need to omit certain foods you're giving, or increase/decrease the size you're cutting them into.
