My LG is nearly 9MO and we are now on mostly normal foods. Every baby is different so it’s important not to compare - but the way we started introducing to get to the stage we are at now is lumpy foods! We made a lot of homemade things for this, just making sure to not blend things into purée and it just being a bit of a lumpier texture, or even mashing things with a fork but making sure it was cooked enough so that the lumps were still able to be mushed up by her. They said if you can squeeze it in between your thumb & finger without adding a load of pressure, it is safe to give as your baby can push it against their gums/mouth to mash it themselves. As time went on we started offering soft foods alongside, like bananas, boiled veg/fruit in finger sized sticks. We followed the interest of what our LG was showing she liked. X

@Chloe-Louise thank you so much I will have to try this! this honestly helped me a lot 😭💕

I’m glad it helped! Don’t be too afraid, I was very anxious at first which is completely normal and understandable! Once you get past it and your LO is eating food from your own plate, you’ll wonder what you even worried about! X
