Health visitor very very keen on baby led weaning, as was I originally, but DS is a real cough/choke/splutterer due to reflux, which is making me very very nervous about giving him finger food. He has a habit of trying to ram his fists so far down his throat he sometimes coughs, so I dread to think what he would be like with a carrot stick (even if it was really meltingly soft).
I was going to start out with purees for a short while and gradually thicken them up, then introduce finger food but health visitor really shut me down and wouldn't discuss this, just kept saying 'there's no need' and not really reassuring me about my concerns or explaining why.
I wasn't going to go for the pouches, although my mum bought us a load bless her but they last so will use those as emergencies or if we need to travel with them. I was going to puree up veg myself to start with, but now I'm feeling unsure as to what route to go down.
AIBU to think purees are still okay to go ahead with? The HV acted like I would pretty much be poisoning him!

AIBU to think BLW isn't ideal for chokey/spluttery DS? Confused!
