For those that did BLW, when did you start giving small pieces like steamed veggies?

Question

Obviously the choking hazard is what's concerning me

Answer

Once my son got the hang of swallowing and what not, which was 7-8 months. BLW is awesome 👍🏻
They will gag, and sometimes its scary and seems like they're choking, but mine never actually choked. Just be careful about food size/texture of the food (especially if they dont have teeth yet!)

Answer

At 6 months you can give your baby cooked carrot sticks and if you're putting veggies with a meal you can cook them and mash them up?? My little boy has been having veg since 6 months

Answer

So I do a mix of BLW.  Didn't introduce purée until he was grabbing my food.  He still prefers my food (watermelon, pineapple, sandwiches, bread, fish, etc.) and I let him "gum" most.  But for my own anxiety I still mush or purée most foods (he is ALMOST 6 months).
 
But as long as the carrots and peas are cooked to a soft enough consistency (where enough pressure will smoosh it), I think it will be okay.  Watch the green beans though... most store bought mixtures do not remove that 'string', so more chewing will be needed.
 
Just watch and see.
