8 month old and food

Question: when did you start giving your baby real food instead of purées?

My baby is 8 months and he does enjoy eating the baby oatmeal and puréed food. He also does pretty good with puffs. But my mom keeps telling me I need to give him real food. It always makes me nervous about him choking. He has gagged a few times in real food and I know that’s just their reflex, but I still get scared and I’ll quit feeding him whatever it is if he gags.
