BLW after starting on purée?

[Sugar80]

Baby will be 6 months next week and, while I had every intention of going down the baby led weaning route (as I had with his big sister), he was hungry so I've been shovelling veggie slop in him for the last six weeks and he's been lapping it up.
Being inherently lazy, I want to progress to dumping toast and pasta on his highchair tray asap, but I'm a bit worried that he's got too used to having large quantities of mush and, from memory, the dogs did pretty well out of finger food last time, ie not that much goes in at first. Has anyone got any advice on moving from purées to "real" food?

I would introduce finger foods alongside the puree initially then gradually reduce the amount of puree at each meal until you've phased it out. As you say, he's used to a certain volume of food now. So to suddenly remove it when he may not yet have the necessary skills to eat the same volume when he feeds himself could leave him very hungry and upset.

After halfheartedly starting puree (23 weeks) I stopped as the thought of weeks/months of puree filled me with dread (second child)! I plan to feed some meals mashed/pureed, and give others as finger food. Probably finger food for breakfast, spoon feed supper (what 3 yr old is eating mashed up) and see how we go with lunch. Got the idea from a blog written by a hippie mum who BLW older child but wants to mix it up a bit with next baby. (this link.
