BLW - when do you start on really messy food?

[MadamePlatypus]

So far we have been mainly trying 'veggie chips' (broccoli, carrot etc. and stuffed pita bread - DD is almost 7 months old. She has a pretty good hand grip, but no pincer grip (can't remember when they get that.) This may be a stupid question, but does she need more of a pincer grip before tackling stuff like spag bol? Is it possible for them to mush stuff together like risotto?

'course it would, angeliz, DD loves lasagne. yours sounds delicious (and not too tomatoey, whcih is good), perhaps you could send it to my blog at aitch at babyledweaning dot com?
