Weaning : texture issue

[SYA23]

So I’ve started weaning my little one when they turned 6 months - they’re now 7 months old (baby was 2.5 weeks premature). I wanted to do mix of baby led and some puree.
he’s doing great on finger food and the puree however he isn’t like textured in puree. For example if I make home made puree he hates that it’s thicker than the puree from an Ella’s pouch and refuses it.
I tried porridge for breakfast and didn’t like the texture despite me trying to make it thinner.
at a loss really completely! Any tips?

Mine was exactly the same. Would only take smooth purée when being fed, but would happily eat anything whilst feeding herself.

We just did that and made it easier for everyone. She weaned fine and apart from fish, will eat most things
