What has your babe eaten so far?!

Question

Looking for inspiration ! Choking is my biggest fear and gagging With thicker consistency is terrifying!

Answer

We give our son everything we eat. Hard or very crunchy things are obviously a no go as he has no molars. But we steam all veggies and fruits or just use very ripe fruits. Hes had about every meat. We do a lot of beans as well. We try and watch salt amounts but he will eat everything that's spiced and herbed. (Loves indian food)   Pinterest has a lot of ideas for little ones! We did a version of BLW so very few purees were used.  
Start to thicken purees w cereals to have them get used to consistency. Itll take a bit but keep it up. Gagging is terrifying but incredibly natural and they will eventually lose that reaction over time.
If you are not CPR certified I would recommend doing so, being knowledgeable in how to help if need be is always a good idea.
With my first we would steam veggies and use an immersion blender to get it smooth but chunky for transitioning to a more whole food. Reduce blend time as they get used to it. Ripe avocados were a great first whole food as well as very soft pears.  We weren't able to do sticks of food as my son would literally shovel everything in....we had good luck w small pieces. Hes now able to feed himself w pretty good accuracy. 
Just remember it's a process and they may spit out most of it or gag a few times. It's all about learning and fun before they are one!

My baby eats anything and everything. 
She’s had steak, chicken, ham, bell peppers, rice, spaghetti, chicken noodle soup, potato soup, Mac n cheese, biscuits and gravy, pizza, deconstructed tacos. literally everything you can imagine. The ONLY thing I do not give her is crunchy potato chips. But like Cheetos she gets. 
And she JUST now cut her first tooth. She was eating all of this way before her tooth. We started at exactly 6 months. She really really loves food. I can’t cook or eat anything in front of her without her screaming. 
I have never had a choking incident, she has gagged occasionally but she just spits it right out without my assistance and then continues on. She knows how much she can handle and how much she can’t

My baby turns 7 months this week so she wasn’t born in April but she eats what we eat. She didn’t like purees much so we do BLW. She’s had banana, avocado, sweet potato, potatoes, chicken, cheese, yogurt, gnocci, noodles, carrots, peach, oatmeal, and toast. I’m sure I’m missing something. She enjoys watching us eat and trying what we have. The only thing I won’t give her is honey and junk food.

Answer

Everything we eat, he mostly just bites of pieces chews a bit and spits it out.

Answer

Yeah same here, we do mostly baby lead so babe kind of eats what we do, he has porridge in lots of forms so with a spoon and in fingers to eat himself (you bake it then cut it up) I add all sorts to it, carrots, berries etc he has yoghurt, smoothies, pancakes and muffins that I make from baby recipes so no sugar etc, pastry wheels are good with fillings you chose, then he has steamed veg sticks for dinners usually with like ricotta cheese or hummus or mashed potato, all sorts really but nothing with added salt or sugar so no tins or jarred food that we would have like curry etc, he's had rice and pasta with homemade sauces, and all the fruits as snacks, hopefully this gives you some ideas xx
