Anyone on table food yet?!

Question

I read somewhere that babies should be off purees by 9 or 10 months and eating  actual food so they "can learn to chew and eat properly ". Safe foods of course. We exclusively breastfeed and honestly only do purees maybe once a week. We've also done little taste of things here and there but just simple stuff like mashed potatoes, grits and sweet potato. I'm just curious who is still doing purees and who is mostly on table food at this point. Anyone not even doing food at all?

Answer

We did BLW (Baby Led Weaning) from 6 months and my son eats everything we give him. Hes only just started getting teeth at 8 months but but he waa happy to grind food in his gums.
 He'll eat what we have as we eat quite healthy anyway. 
He'll have avocado on toast for breakfast with strawberries and blueberries. Tuna pasta and cucumber, red peppers and grapes for lunch. Dinner he'll eat whatever we're eating, lasagne, sausages, broccoli, carrots, chicken etc.
If you're nervous just start on steamed/boiled broccoli and carrots. 
There are loads of BLW facebook groups that can help give you an idea of what foods you can give your baby. They'll also give you peace of mind about babies gagging etc.

Answer

My son mostly eats table food 😊

Answer

My lil guy is 8 months, he tried some of the purée at 5 months but never liked them. Even home made ones. So at 6 months we just gave him what we were eating but very small bites of everything.

Answer

Been doing baby led weaning since she was 6 months.  It’s messy but it’s wonderful how well she maneuvers with the food.

Answer

My daughter doesn’t like anything but the boob 😩, odd bite of other things here and there. We try purées & foods daily she most of the time she just refuses

Answer

We do a mix. My babe is interested in our home made purées and table food but he vomits on some soft solids occasionally (ripe banana, avocado, scramble eggs etc) so we have just been taking it slow with table foods. He always spit up a ton as a newborn and I think he just has a sensitive gag reflex. Good luck.

Answer

I don’t purée it I mash it with my fork she loves it 🥰

Answer

I EBF. My son is going to be 9 months on the 6th. He has about 2ounces of purées a day. Other than that it’s all mamas milk. :)

Answer

We do a mix of everything. He mostly get bites aka real food when we're eating, unless our food is unsuitable, then I usually give him smoothie or oatmeal, or something like that. But he doesn't eat a lot, he mainly breastfeeds.

Answer

My girl will be 9 months on the 9th and we just started to introduce solid foods over the last couple of weeks. She doesn’t seem interested at all. But, she loves her purées! She has oatmeal in the morning, 4oz of veggie or meat purée in the afternoon, and 4oz of fruit purée in the evening.
