baby’s and food and grasp and baby led weaning

I keep reading that baby’s shouldn’t have bite size foods until 9mo because then they START using the pincer grasp? But we are baby led weaning and two weeks in. The first week she would half rake, half try to pincer grasp with her other fingers open and ended up taking the food in. this week she has started trying to pincer grasp with her other fingers in a fist 👆🏻<—— like that, so she is trying to use pincer grasp before 7mo. Is this normal, and by 9 months she will have it down? Or is this considered “early” FTM trying to learn what’s “normal” or “average” or not. And how much of this baby led weaning stuff the group I’m in is kind of pushy about.
