Quite often I here people say "what about choking" more often then not when someone says "my baby choked" it is gagging. I didn't know the difference until I researched it so thought I'd share it with you also, hopefully put your minds at rest!
Gagging
We all have a gag reflex it's a lifelong automatic response that helps prevent choking. Until your baby's around 6 months old, he also has a reflex that causes him to thrust his tongue forward whenever the back of his throat is stimulated.
This tongue-thrust reflex can make early feedings a bit of a challenge. Gagging on or pushing out those first spoonfuls of puree isn't uncommon.
Pushing your baby to eat more can cause him to gag and the same for having too much food in his mouth, even after the tongue-thrust reflex is gone.
Some babies will even gag on their own fingers until they figure out how far they can put things in their mouths.

Choking
Choking is a clear obstruction of the airways that can prevent breathing.
The only thing that my DD has remotely choked on was a piece of apple which I later found out is quite common.
It is easy to detect as your child or baby will get very panicky.
Here is a link that has some tips on avoiding choking in babies and children.
Hope it helps
