She’s 5 and a half months so starting in 2 weeks .
I plan on asking my health visitor for first aid training for choking but I originally wanted to just start her on the purées and work up to finger foods . But seeing on social media about a baby who choked and died on MASH POTATOES?!!! Now I’m scared to give her anything .. she gets Ella’s kitchen purée just the wee fruit/veg ones once a day (couple of spoonfuls advised by hv) so is mash potatoes a choking hazard too ? I know any food can be but wouldn’t have thought mashed food as a high risk ! Yes I’m in therapy for my anxiety before anyone says but did anyone else feel this way and what are your tips ? From one very anxious first time mum

im weaning soon too
basically its all about texture, so mash can be really smooth and runny or very hard and stodgy - which is a choking risk.
i found this ladies videos really helpful
if you mash foods yourself you get to know the right texture
