overactive gag reflex and his development as a  toddler.>>>>>>
 
a few thoughts Anne, 
 
-check the archives for any similar cases - it's not unheard of, causes  
vary, ie: allergy related
-it is great! that toddler is so healthy and thriving
-mom expresses concern that it may be a physical problem: help mom find Bf  
friendly ENT, & maybe a pediatric dentist, to check for any physical issues 
 that would cause the "overactive gag reflex" and possible oral aversion  
issue
-avocado and similar foods may be too slick/slimy
-did shoulder heal well? ....eval by pediatric PT?
-consider craniosacral eval, .. & therapy if needed
