The most common reason is because babies are naturally born with a stronger gag-reflex than we have when we're older. You will notice babies placing the food in their mouths, then using their tongue to push it right back out. This is because of their gag-reflex. It takes longer for some babies to control it and eat semisolids, than it does others.
