10 month old not interested in food

I wanted to do BLW with DS but after a shaky start (choked on a carrot baton and stopped breathing) he seemed to decide that he'd rather be fed purée. He would open him mouth like a baby bird and cry if I didn't feed him quickly enough, and would also cry whenever I gave him finger food.

I'm trying to be relaxed about it because I had a lot of issues with food when I was young, but he's showing less and less interest in food. On a good day he'll have a petit filous for breakfast, half a pouch of Ella's/plum baby (but only the smooth fruit and veg ones) and possibly a few mouthfuls of what we're having for dinner (pasta, bread roll or pizza) and sometimes some melon or other fruit but often he won't have anything. He won't eat lumpy food and if he doesn't like something he either throws it on the floor or spits it at me :(

He's been at nursery for 6 weeks and often refuses food there as well, apart from yogurt. They seem to be giving him yogurt at every meal now to get him to eat something!

He still bfs 2hrly overnight so he's putting on weight and growing as he should be, but I'm just concerned that he already seems to be so fussy even though I've tried to expose him to lots of different tastes and textures. Do I need to just relax?

I have a food spitter too, no help to you I know, he's just refused his entire (1st birthday) lunch & is currently latched on after crying until he got a (breast) milk feed.
I'm back at work tomorrow and have a fridge full of yoghurt in anticipation. So I Would love a magic answer.
