Laryngeal (Gag)
The 'Gag' reflex is a reflex contraction of the back of the throat that prevents objects from entering the throat except as part of normal swallowing and helps prevent choking. In this case the reflex provides a water tight seal to the lungs while your baby is submerged and this automatic response is eventually replaced by conscious breath holding.
