S/O Salads

We never give DD salads. A few months ago we tried and she gagged horribly on it. Haven't given it to her in awhile, I just figured she wasn't ready for it yet. So today we tried salad again after reading so many of you give your LOs salad routInely. It didn't go well she immediately gagged on it.
Am I doing something wrong, is she just not ready for it? Anyone else have this issue?

  • I'm in no hurry to give them lettuce. DD1 isn't really interested and DD2 just doesn't have the teeth to properly chew it.

  • She probably just doesn't like the texture. You're not doing it wrong.
  • My kids will eat anything but lettuce. I wouldn't worry about it. It's a texture issue for most little kids.

  • I typically give M the crunchy "rib" part of the lettuce.  She likes the crunch and it doesn't gag her.  The leafy part sometimes does make her gag.  I also fold it over itself a few times sp she can crunch into it and chew it up better.

  • I don't think you're doing anything wrong.  We've tried to give DD lettuce three times (I think) and she's choked every time and ends up spitting it out.  We're not trying again for a while!

  • Ok good to hear! We will just wait until she is ready for it!

    Thanks!
