I've just started weaning my 6m ds and am keen that he starts taking some food every day as it may help with his silent reflux issues. I wanted to go blw but he doesn't put food in his own mouth often and when he does, gags and vomits all over the high chair. Today I experimented by offering mashed avocado with a spoon. It wasn't an entirely smooth consistency but he seemed to enjoy it far more than when I offered it cut up.
So I'm putting blw aside for the moment and spoonfeed a while, but I don't want to puree everything either as I want to slowly develop his chewing ability. I'm thinking of trying porridge, mashed potato/squash/carrot/banana, etc. Does this seem to make sense, and are there any other foods that people would suggest? Thanks!
