Introducing finger foods in the 6th month is great for development, but it is normal for parents to worry about choking. It is important to distinguish between gagging, which is a natural, safe reflex that helps a baby learn to maneuver food, and choking. Always serve food in age-appropriate sizes—using resources like the Solid Starts app can guide you on safe preparation. Start with soft, steamed foods like pear or apple fingers to help them practice chewing.
