Hi ladies
My LO is 7 months and has been on solids for some time due to reflux. He now has very thick purees so the next stage is to introduce lumps/finger foods.
Have put some cous cous in his lunch during the past couple of days and although he gagged at first after a couple of mouthfuls he barely seemed to notice.
I'm happy introducing the lumps but am a bit worried about finger foods. Spoke to a HV who suggested soft foods like carrot and bread. I know this is a silly question but how bit should the pieces be? I don't want my LO to choke but at the same time doesn't he need to be able to hold the pieces of food?
Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated.
