My baby girl started on purées at 5 months. She loves them, I make all her food! I’ve been slowly making them much much thicker. She is soo badly wants food. When husband and myself eat she will sometimes scream and cry wanting it. So yesterday I decided to try to give her some foods to play and eat with. I have her sweet potatoe that was so soft it mushed in her hands, some thin cut apple pieces and a mashed raspberry! I also gave her banana.. all just to see what she would go for. She gnawed on the banana piece. Picked up a piece of sweet potatoes and gagged till puked. Then last night I tried giving her banana again, and she loved gnawing on it, till she got another little bite, it was sooo small! And she gagged again. Is she just not ready? So I was thinking maybe just start mashing her food instead of purée-ing, so she can get used to it! But keep backup purées so she doesn’t go without?
