IS the gag reflex of an infant different to the gag reflex of an adult? I ask because several texts state the gag reflex disappears around 3 months of age, some say 6 months. I don't know a single adult or child for that matter that doesn't gag when the situation calls for it, so are these reflexes different? Are they stimulated at a different point?
