Hyperactive gag reflex in infants is a condition where babies gag — or even vomit — when anything is placed in their mouths.
This is known as
a hyperactive gag reflex or oral hypersensitivity, a condition that can sometimes be overcome with the slow and careful introduction of texture, but which may require help from a speech therapist.
What might look like a little «quirk» in infancy - not wanting to touch things with the hands, alarm and distress over day - to - day noises,
a hyperactive gag reflex over textured food, panic over changes in position like being tipped back for a diaper change or tipped forward for Tummy Time - can manifest as a bigger issue later in childhood.
