First finger foods

Collette

My 7 1/2 mo has no teeth yet but I guess I should have done baby led weaning bc he’s clearly ready. Showing all the signs for wanting actual food. He eats the teething wafer crackers like a champ and feeds himself the purée w the spoon (even dips it in to the bowl!) Eats a banana like a normal person etc.

I’m terrified to start finger foods though. Is this ok?? Shredded chicken. I’m going to offer w smashed cooked peas.
