Hi
our 8 month old has been doing great weaning, enjoying purées and finger food (toast, veg, puffs).
We moved on to thicker purées which is homemade stuff and she enjoys.
However when we try the 7 month old “slightly lumpy” or “slightly textured” and she doesn’t seem to like. She gags a bit. We then mix it with another smoother puree or add some extra water and she takes it fine.
Should I be worried or am I panicking unnecessarily?!
any advice what next?
thanks!

Yes I’ve made proper meals and pureed them. It’s just when a little more textured that it’s a problem :-)

What additional finger foods would you offer?
Thanks for all the advice… I will persevere with the “lumpier” pouches. I’ll continue to mix them with smoother ones and gradually add less and less smooth. Sounds sensible?!
lots of opinions but doesn’t sound like I’m doing too much wrong!

The downside of jars and pouches is they are much less nutritious.
