BLW ideas for meals and small snacks

So my LG is nearly 7 months, we started with purées just before she was 5 months, but for the last few weeks, especially now she has 2 teeth, she just wants what we have. I’m a FTM and find BLW so scary, but I know she enjoys it and doesn’t like bland food. Can anyone give me ideas I can start doing for her please? I’ve done toast with smashed banana, but 2 times now she puts too much in her mouth when it gets soggy and gags/chokes I never know the difference! She’s had egg, will eat Yorkshire puddings like they are going out of fashion if she gets the chance. Any help would be massively appreciated please! And ways that you should cook etc. I also have the solid starts app already. Thanks x

Have a look down the group, there are loads of ideas x

Gagging is normal and they’ll naturally spit the food out of their mouth. You’ll know because your baby will be red in face and make sound. Choking is silent, they’ll go white/blue in the face. I watch her at all times and when gagging I keep water near, I wait see her spit it out and offer water. My daughter loves roast potato, I roast them in coconut oil with rosemary and garlic and give veg like carrots or broccoli with it! I want to try roasted veg with her maybe season those with something I made a veg sauce so I cooked different types of veg like eggplant, zucchini, tomato, carrot ect along with oregano/garlic and blended it to make a pasta sauce I have made simple tomato and oregano sauce too always goes down well! Today we had cinnamon eggy bread with banana and yogurt! You can make that savoury though with avocado Omelette fingers is big hit here!

I wouldn’t recommend solid starts as it offers outdated and unsafe advice Learning the difference between choking and gagging and an infant first aid course helped me with my anxiety’s. My lo wouldn’t take a purée or let me feed her, I blw from 7.5 months (6.5 months corrected) the anxiety is real but it does get easier in time Join weaning the BLW way on fb, I wouldn’t have been a confident weaner or have a confident eater if it wasn’t for that group x
