Do all kids gag some when starting finger foods?

If the answer is yes, I will feel a little better. I have been hesitant to try anything more than puffs b/c when I tried cheerios and bananas she gagged enough where to me it was borderline choking. I have told myself I'd wait til she was 9 months old since that is what the pedi said. She can pick up cheerios and puffs just fine and feed them to herself.

    Yes, it took my DS awhile to not gag on finger foods.  I would try the puffs and he would gag, anything that wasn't puree he gagged.  I would generally wait a week and try again.  Eventually, he didn't gag anymore.  I just took it as a sign that he wasn't quite ready yet.  Now he does great!!

    DH is just starting finger foods also and he gags all the time also. I asked pedi about it and she said it is because they get them to far back which they in time will learn not to do, just watch them very closely.
