I've scoured the Internet but there's no where that says - this is what they can have or how to cut it.

so far he is eating toast, wheatbix - we tryed smashed blueberries and he eats a banana.

but what food for lunch or dinner can he start having? wanna move away from mush and try him feeding himself.

thank yo u

he has meals I've made.
spag bol
chicken mash and spinach
chicken curry

I'm not asking what to feed him - I'm asking how your meant to cut/ serve food to a baby without choking ect

he gets loads fruit n veg. he is a big boy 11kg at 9ms and 10days old.

thank you

Sorry for my misunderstanding. You only listed fruit and carbs so I was concerned.

Exactly, over reaction much from pp haha! You're talking a couple of cheerios on a highchair alongside the usual healthy unprocessed stuff like fruit, yoghurt, cheese, eggs, veggies, proteins.
A few processed things can certainly be included as part of a balanced diet. Can get very obsessive otherwise.

Yeah its not a whole bowl of cereal, it was just something we tried to practice pincer grasp. Sure some babies eat much more unhealthy things than Cheerios but no one will admit to that lol

In terms of cutting up, if baby has mastered pincer grasp then cut everything into bite size chunks. Or else do finger foods. Avoid anything round like blueberries, grapes, etc, always chop/squash these

My sister's children just ate whatever their parents were eating, which resulted in a warning/apology from my sister one day as my niece had "garlic breath" having thoroughly enjoyed leftover boeuf bourguignon after her parents had a dinner party.
