He choked on something he’s always eaten just fine. I didn’t ever feel the need to vigilantly monitor him while he ate these crackers after he was old enough to handle them and didn’t show problem with it.I stay with him while he eats but usually I let him do his thing and check on him. A couple of days ago he shoved a whole cracker in his mouth and pushed it in because it was sticking out. It went too far back and got stuck. We’re talking pounding his back and pulling the extra cracker from his mouth, face red, no breathing kind of choking.In simple words, it scared the crap out of me. Now I’m completely freaked out when he eats. I have anxiety over it, and watch him the whole time he eats.Right now he was eating a quesadilla and I freaked out when he took a big bite. I need to get right in my own head, but it’s just really difficult right now.It definitely doesn’t help when someone says, “if you freak out, he’ll freak out” because I know that, it’s not that easy though. I’m trying, and I know it’s the feeling of helplessness it brought that’s sticking.Does anyone have advice on this or has gone through the same thing? I feel so neurotic. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2K0pEln
