9.5 month old help!

Justine

I am having a really hard time feeding my 9.5 month old actual solid foods. She eats the purée baby foods just fine. (And she is bottle fed) Every time I give her “real” food like potatoes, avocados etc she coughs and I freak out she is going to choke. I need help getting through this because everything I read said she should be eating finger foods by now. Any advice? Help.
