Purées or finger foods?

Question

What’s everyone’s babies eating? My 8.5 month old is just starting to grasp food, she eats oatmeal in the morning mixed with fruit, and then a pouch of baby food for dinner. EBF so hasn’t been eating lunch up until now. I’m wanting to start on more finger foods but I’m hesitant, purées are just so safe but I’d like to start transitioning her soon. Thoughts?

Answer

I did blw, so my 8.5 month old is eating almost everything I eat

Answer

My baby started on purées and solids, he does like purées anymore so all we feed him now are solids, like broccoli, cucumber, carrot , pasta and sauce also  boiled or roasted fruit and vegetables.

Answer

we do the half ass BLW lol, she mostly eats what we eat, but still gets rice/oatmeal cereal, baby food and sometimes we hand feed

Answer

She’s been all table food for at least a month. She eats what we eat!

Answer

I do a mix of pures and finger foods.. i give finger foods when i can.. but isnt always an option i also jome make her phrees so i dont make them all the same consistency some are more of a mush or chunck. Its scarey sometimes with finger foods but kids know what they are doing!my girl loves baby puffs, and steamed carrots!

Answer

We do purees in the morning, finger food in the afternoon and another puree at night.
My thoughts on this: 
her stomach has always had mild reflux since young so we want to avoid meltdowns at night so puree for the nights.
Morning when it is empty, i dont want her tummy to work too hard so another puree.
Afternoons are her most active time so we give her almost everything we eat + her own snacks.

Answer

Prunes any day

Answer

My baby preferred table food from the beginning, so he’s eating what we’re eating. I only give him 2 meals because he hasn’t wanted food in the morning. His daycare prefers to give purees so he gets those at lunch there and he’s warming up to them.
