Transitioning from purées to solids advice?

Jamie

My lo is 9 months old at the end of October. Does great for any purées. He also does good with egg mashed with a fork. Mashed up ground beef or chicken, salmon. He chews decently it seems! I’m looking for advice.. ( not about puffs or baby crackers but about foods) ideas of what to start giving him to pick up with his hands? Should I try soft tiny little cubes of carrot? Or tiny tiny pieces of bread. I’m not judging anyone else but I’m not a fan of baby snacks like puffs or crackers so I’m looking for alternatives as to what to try. Hes only barely starting to get two teeth. I worry about choking ( I didn’t do baby led

Weaning). Any ideas? Usually now I give him a meat fruit and veg at mealtimes. The fruit or veg is obviously quite soft and basically fork mashed. The meat be chewsi make it small as I can.
