Anyone still doing purées/soft foods?

Question

Is anyone still doing purées or soft/mashed foods? I’m nervous to start with finger foods but I also feel like I’m letting my LO fall behind because it looks like so many of you are giving your LO’s whatever you eat.

Answer

A lot of people in this group are doing baby led weaning. Purées are fine if that’s what you feel comfortable with. That’s all we’re doing except 2 or 3 times a week I will try some kind of finger foods just for practice.

Answer

We started over 2 weeks ago - doing mashed or purées. Have given her baby rusks with her breakfast for a few mornings and she liked them! Did broccoli and sweet potato purée today, and gave her a few florets (steamed really well) - she played with them, put a few in her mouth and spat them out! Gonna take it slowly but surely. I’d highly recommend Joe Wicks book “wean in 15” - it’s a mix of purées and BLW.

I’m still doing stage 1 purées because Everett is not a great sitter yet. Once he is consistently sitting up unsupported, we will explore finger foods.

I'm still doing only purees. One for the fear of him choking and two because he has a dairy allergy so it's hard to start certain solids with that in mind.

My 6 month old does a 1st foods purée for breakfast and dinner. I’m sticking with that for awhile. Will slowly Introduce stage 2 and 3 and around 9 months give 3 purées a day. I will start slowly introducing mashing or very cut up finger foods slowly. I haven’t done any finger foods before she just turned 6 months.

We’ve been doing purées. I’ve offered a few tiny tastes of “food” and he always pushes it back out...except mashed potatoes, which he took

Answer

We have only tried a couple of things, and almost all purées. But my plan is to slowly incorporate more finger foods so she learns how to feed herself and explore different textures. But I will also do purées (and pouches eventually) so she knows how to eat those too and learns how to use utensils. That’s what I did with my older daughter and it worked fine!

Answer

I’m really nervous to do finger foods, just the thought of his possibly choking scares the crap out of me. I’m still purées because of it but I know I need to start trying
