Is this true? My MIL told me that you have to purée food when weaning as babies can't chew food until they have teeth. I am sure I have seen toothless babies eating chunks of veg, toast, cheese etc but she told me I must be mistaken.
My DS isn't six months so not weaning yet anyway but I have some sensory issues with 'mushy' food and really would rather stick to lumpier textures (appreciate that I might have to just get over it if purée is the way I have to go) but I don't want to give DS anything he can't eat because of not having teeth. It all sounds weird to me because surely a baby doesn't have a full set of teeth until much later and I am certain that I have seen babies eat 'proper' food before that...
