next step?

[Lzielosko92]

My LO has been on purees now for 4 weeks, I've started introducing finger foods, but what is the next step from puree? How do you make them with more texture? My blender seems to make everything super smooth, which was fantastic to start with but what do I do next? x

Mash the food instead?

I used to blend a bit and mash a bit the mix together - then then that went ok went into mashing.

As I make batch foods and freeze DS will have some smoother and some lumpier now. If he's teething he prefers smoother.

If you go to the Ella's kitchen website you can request a free weaning chart which is like a board game, gives you an idea of what foods to give when and what texture to do. I find it really useful.
