Hi
I have a 10 month dd who was weaned about 5 and half months as she was ready by then. She is now ten months old and I am struggling with what to give her. She doesn't seem to eat much but her weight is fine and she is active enough. Still wanting 3 bottles a day. She will not always accept a spoon and spits food often that way. She is trying to use a spoon herself and apart from toast and veg I'm running out of ideas. She chokes quite a bit on something's too so I'm scared to try her on bread and cheese and things. I feel a bit daft as she is my second but with ds he refused lumpy food and was on purees until he was 13 months old and one day nicked a bacon sandwich and never looked back. He still won't eat rice pudding tho strangely.
Anyway some ideas for baby centred finger food would be great and as awful as this sounds as we do give home cooked food I really don't have time to be messing with the Annabel Karmel style of things

In he actually choking visiting or just gagging? There's some info on the difference here 
Is she's on 3 bottles a day, isn't that normal? I thought the minimum was 20floz of first stage formula per day between 6 and 12 months?
Whilst all of what you've said sounds normal, it might be worth getting her checked for tongue tie and upper lip tie as this can often cause problems with accepting solid food.
It you do want some inspiration I found this book helpful, I borrowed it from our library and lots of people on here swear by this book
Ah thank you. Having read that article I'm pretty sure it's gagging and not choking. She sorts herself out and carries on regardless completely happy. I shall just persevere and keep trying different
Maybe try her with some large pasta spirals and sauce. My DD is 10 months and although having some purees, is also eating finger foods. She likes bolognese sauce with pasta. Sucks the sauce off and then shoves the pasta in
I also give her cut up grapes, banana, nectarine etc so she can feed herself.
Or scramble an egg and tip it on to her tray so she can feed herself.
Tried her with broccoli cheese and pasta spirals today. She's done I think. She prefers to play in it and feed the dog I think all good fun. Most of it ends up on the floor
will try the hummus and pitta bread and other things too.
That was meant to say she's done Ok I think. It sounds awful how I put it 
No idea to be honest but she ate it willingly so I shovelled it in out of relief
Well that's fair enough, but is till don't get the "its kinder on the tummy thing"
I blame the phone for the ba grammar. Apologies
