I do baby-led weaning with my 9 mo. frequently i find 1 or 2 pieces of food still in his mouth long after his eating session (e.g. at night when i brush his teeth). i usually do not take it out cos i know it will be gone. he doesn't spit it out also. my worry is that he will choke at night if he falls asleep with it still in the mouth. will this happen? shld i take it out by bedtime? any advice from babyled weaning experts?

I am not an expert but I will take it out. The reasons are Coz I m afraid of baby choking n food left for too long will turn acidic n corrode teeth. Hygiene n health purposes I will not let baby keep food for too long. I will consistently check if baby has finished the food even before brushing teeth time. Food keeping can cultivate habits.
