My 9.5 month old DS puts everything happily in his mouth. Purées, lumps, spoon fed, finger food/BLW. People marvel at his excellent appetite. Lots goes in as I see the evidence in his nappies, his poos are soft/solid, but I wonder if this is also because I combine soft spoon fed foods with every meal. They're lumpy but easy to swallow, so this ensures he is taking something onboard.
I give him little rice cakes and can hear him crunching, he moves food between his cheeks etc. So no apparent problems with tongue/muscles.
But basically, 90% of finger foods will come back out after being worked on in his mouth for a while. He will just stick his tongue out and out it falls! All soft and gooey!
I really just want him to consume a boiled or scrambled egg, rather than finding half of it in bib and on floor afterwards! As an aside it makes eating out a little more tricky.
Anyone else have a similar experience? I'm not worried per se, just curious! I'm assuming he'll get there in his own time (trying to ignore awful food waste in meantime) Right?!!
