Anyone still doing only purees?

Question

His doctor recommended to puree everything since he doesnt have any teeth yet. I've read their gums are strong thats how babies do BLW. I feel like i should be teaching him how to chew and introducing other textures but im just terrified😰! I think he is not liking purees anymore, plus it would give me more options on what to cook for him
Any tips how can i transition to table foods?

Answer

First, know what to do in the case of choking, second know he difference between gagging and choking. And lastly eat the same thing he's eating and exaggerate your bitting and chewing. He will copy you and watch you intently.

Answer

Start with small pieces of soft cheese, soft fruit (kiwi, peach, banana etc). Cheerios are a good one to start with to learn how to crunch. Sweet potato, cauliflower. Any soft (over cooked even) veggie.

Answer

My son has teeth but before he had more than 2 he sucked food until it was mushy enough to gum and swallow. He still does that now with some stuff. The easy ones for him at first were puffs, cheerios, bananas, and avocados. It's pretty amazing what they can do with only gums and saliva.

Answer

My son only has two bottom teeth and he's been eating finger foods since he was 8 months. I cut up his food but He also takes bites of bigger food and 
mashes the food with his gums. He eats meat balls ( I make with different meats and throw veggies like spinach and carrots, potatoes, sweet potato fries, chicken nuggets, bananas, very ripe fruit, berries, little sandwiches/bread, pancakes/waffles, crackers with PB, puffs, etc. 
I wouldn't be afraid... You definitely should be exposing him to a variety of textures.

Answer

I just cut things really small. My son has 6 teeth, but also a tendency to just keep shoving food in his mouth, lol. I just use my judgement.
