how do you give it? do you give it dry or do something to make it softer/moister so they don't choke?
i was just eating a bagel & dd starting pulling on my arm to get my attn & then opening her mouth like she wants some. i can't give it to her but maybe will try to give her some toast

I've done dry and with guacamole on top (just mashed avocado with a little spice) and E loves it.
I just try to give pieces big enough that he can hold onto it with his little fist and still get one end in his mouth, so maybe a piece about 2-3 inches long, not too thick. I know BLW recommendation is to cut things into the size of a french fry, so you can use that as a guide.
I'll chime in because it looks like you need a positive story. My LO loves toast. It is the one food she hasn't gagged on. She gags at least a little on most other "soft" foods.
I cut it into strips. Usually she gets it dry, but she has had it with hummus, applesauce, and banana puree before.
You should read up on the difference between gagging and choking. When she gags it sounds and looks pretty scary, but usually she works it out for herself. The only thing I've had to help her with was chicken.
