Also, infants tend to trigger the gag reflex a bit
closer to the midsection
of the tongue compared to far back on the tongue and
at the pharyngeal wall
(as with older babies).

INteresting, Barbara. I have a gag reflex that is
triggered by holding something in between my teeth-
dental films, for example. I wonder if it's genetic-
not that my ds has teeth yet, but he seems to like
"nipple feeding". :-( still, at a month old.
