If you are in two minds about beginning BLW, read this.

Of course safety is the biggest concern for you, as it should be!

Babies will gag when you are beginning solids. Gagging is a protective airway reflex.
The throat muscles close when the tongue/palate comes in contact with a new or unwanted object and push it forward and out of the mouth.
The same thing happens when food touches a baby's palate or tongue in the initial days of beginning solids.

Gagging prevents choking.

As baby's age and oral motor skills advance, the gag reflex goes deeper down and baby is finally able to swallow food without gagging.

I hope this relieves some of your anxiety.

A typical contact dermatitis rash will involve the peri a**l area, buttocks, genitalia and inner thigh area. The groin and skinfolds will not be affected.
A fungal rash, on the other hand, will involve the groin and skinfolds to a greater extent. It is more commonly seen when babies are sick and if your baby is on antibiotics.

Periods of frequent stooling make your baby more prone to these rashes.
