Question for you all who feed your babies non-purée food.

My baby has a few teeth and we feed him things like - mashed potatoes, toast with butter or peanut butter, sweat potato fries, soft cauliflower or broccoli, baby puffs, pears, other soft fruits, rice, oatmeal, noodles, and some other things if they are softer. We have tried eggs in small bites and he can eat them, but recently just will not swallow them. So I thought he might not like them. We also have done really small pieces of these “softer” chicken nuggets- at first was able to swallow but now just won’t swallow and let’s it sit in his mouth.

I’m not sure if he’s just not liking this or if he feels he can’t swallow them yet? We didn’t do BLW. He started purées around 5 months and have been doing foods like these since 8 months. Like I said- he has swallowed these things before. Very small bites and not hard at all .

Any thoughts?
