Are you still giving your 8-9 month old baby food (purees)?

Question

I'm worried that he's getting too old for purees. He has four teeth now and can chew pretty well. I just made a new batch of baby food that has a much thicker texture than before. Maybe next batch I'll just mash instead of blend everything...
 Are you still doing milk and purees or have you switched to 'toddler versions' of your adult foods?? When should we stop giving our babies breastmilk/
formula and baby food? 
I would google these things, but I want to know what real moms like me are doing.

Answer

I will give purée if the food we are giving him is tough to swallow or digest

Answer

No more purees for us. He eats what we eat, and usually feeds himself if its finger food. :) 
Breastmilk or formula until 1. 
We're currently still nursing on demand and won't stop until he's ready. 
He also gets donor milk because I have a low supply, or formula if we're out of that. 
He takes about 4 bottles a day with 5oz each and, as I said, nurses on demand, but I only make about 2 ounces at a time, (one ounce per breast. I've done lots of weighted feedings and that's about average) and eats 3 real food meals a day. 
Hope this helps. :)

Answer

He's adorable! If he has 4 teeth and you're comfortable with it, I would begin to introduce more 'food'. Ours only has two teeth, yet still manages to takes solid bites of whole (softer) veggies, hamburger, and even chews little pieces steak flawlessly. So it's definitely doable! They're gums really are so strong. If he's looking ready for it, maybe give it a try?!

Answer

We give him both. He's more interested in the food though. But I still make him some purees  especially fruit blends.

Answer

no other milk should be given other than breast milk or formula before 12mo.

Answer

I am still breastfeeding my baby, no formula, no more puree. Puree is only at the beginning of changing texture from liquid to solid (6 m.o). At 7 m.o., no more puree.
