My little one is nearly 9 months, when we started him on food which was baby porridge then introduced jars we never had an issue with him eating he was finishing each meal great, by the time he was 7 months he was having 3 meals a day.
We tried to introduce 7 month (lumpy) jars and he's wasn't having any of it, so we left it a few days tried again still not having it refused to eat, since then we have tried the textured not lumpy Ellas pouches won't entertain them or our meals pureed down with lumps in. But if we give him bits of our food off our plate he will quite happily eat it.
I guess my question is , can I just start giving him our food chopped up or is it not advised at his age. He hasn't got teeth yet either. Sorry for the long post!
