It is always best to seek medical advice if you fear anything is wrong, better to see someone and they say you are fine than to suffer when something needed to be done. That said, it is very common at your stage (early days transition to solids) to have discomfort when you eat if you know you sometimes don't chew well. Once you have been sick because a bit of food has become stuck you can continue to have pain/swelling/sickness in your pouch for days afterwards. You are always best to return to liquids or very smooth purees for a day or two once you have been sick as this allows for healing and swelling to go down.

When you should be concerned is if at any point you feel like even liquids are unable to go down or if you are sick every time you eat, in both cases it is time to call your team and head to A&E.

Hope you feel better soon & baby your pouch!
