Of course you're not awful. There are a lot of ridiculous comments on you tube calling parents abusive when they keep trying new foods. Until a baby gets used to a new taste and texture, you have to keep letting them try it. I'm not for seeing a baby choking and gagging of course, but yucky faces are to be expected. I think as long as a parent gives small amounts at a time, followed by intermittent drinks, there is a greater possibility that the baby will adjust to a new food. That being said, sometimes it's just a no-go and nothing will work. To this day if I see peas and carrots, I still gag. Good job mom!
Yeah I know I agree with that I understand why parents make their kids eat something they don't like and then laughs when they're gagging and throwing up about it
