Ok this may of been done or talked about before and I could have missed it. I am starting my little one on solid foods and she seems to do fine until I gave her a farley cookie (they are crushed cereal and melt away in the mouth for those who do not know what they are). Well she got small pieces off it and was not choking but almost gagging and snuffing( blowing air out her nose) Is that a normal thing maybe or do you think I am just reading to far into it.

Drew did that with the "flakier" cereal/cracker/cookie type items.  I tried to stay with things that really mushed as he ate them (think Ritz or graham crackers that turn into goo as they bite them).  But, I do think it is notmal.  As long as she is getting air and not distressed, I am thinking it is not a big deal either way- just for her comfort.
