blw ideas?

For a 9 month old who never did the stick shapes. We done small pieces or mushed a bit. Not quite pureed but not stick shapes

I'm scared the bite size pieces will just slip on his gums and not get smushed and swallowed whole. Eats puffs fine, but textured so makes a difference. I don't want to hold him back on learning to chew and 9 ... just over 9 months I saw a 10 month old with a whole piece of pizza!! He wont be ready, I don't think. I think I ruined him by not giving him chunks or sticks off the bat because I was scared.

Help me what can I do?
