Baby’s 7 months & we’ve been doing solids since 6 months.

First few times we did mashed food & pre-load a spoon and hand it to her, she also tries to grab it with her hands & sometimes gets some in her mouth.

Other than mashed we’ve done cucumber, zucchini & banana spears, but I’m just getting so much fear and anxiety when it comes to giving her chunks of food. I follow solid starts & use their guide, cut foods appropriately & know the signs of gagging vs choking as well as infant CPR.

Still terrified though of giving solids. Half her stuff ends up mashed cuz I’ll get freaked out mid way through her meal😭

I know I’m not helping her by delaying giving her normal food cut appropriately

Any advise you guys have when it comes to meal times? For those terrified, how did you overcome the fear that comes along with giving baby foods?
