As my 7mo seems intent on feeding himself with a spoon and don't let me fo it, i thought i might as well give blw a go. Id avoided before as in paranoid about choking.
Anyway, i cooked some carrot sticks and broccoli 'trees' until softish and gave them to him to have a go on. The broccoli was ok and id probably do it a bit firmer next time so the bobbly bits were soft but the stalk easier to hold.
BUT the carrots were a nightmare, broke easily but not soft enough to turn to mush in his mouth and whenever he 'but' a piece off i scooped it out of his mouth as it was too big for him. What did o do wrong? Should the carrots be firmer (or even raw) so he can just gnaw? Or softer so that they squish when he holds them?
I'm worrying whether any food i give him to hold will be a choking hazard now!
